Hello everyone. Have you ever heard of an “extreme day trip”? This is essentially is spending a day abroad, on a budget, thanks to cheap flights.
Last year I witnessed the rise of these on social media, and wanted to try it for myself, so I’d been keeping my eye on flights when return flights to Paris Beauvais, from Birmingham airport, came up for £37 per person.
My flight out was at 8.30am from Birmingham airport. I didn’t pay for seat allocation on the flight, as that was an extra £8+. I also only took a small rucksack that was included in the flight price, as the cost of any bigger luggage resulted in a larger charge being added on. One thing I’d heard, was that Paris was very expensive when you are there, but to my surprise, we didn’t find that to be the case. Of course, there were plenty of pricey places to dine and drink, if that’s what you want to do. But we just bought some snacks such as croissants from a pretty Parisian bakery, that was only a few minute walk from the Eiffel Tower and only cost around £1 each.I also came across a bar, very close to the Eiffel Tower, that to my surprise, was around £7.
