As part of a series of low-cost vacation challenges, Callum Ryan, a Milton Keynes native with over a million social media followers, flew from Luton Airport to the UAE for under £64 ($88).
The 22-year-old booked a Wizz Air ticket for £21.99 from Luton to Sofia, Bulgaria, and then paid £35.16 to fly from Sofia to Abu Dhabi. He paid £7.51 for a bus from the airport to Dubai, bringing his total one-way travel expenses to £64.66.
It was a 'no-brainer,' according to the social media content creator who was visiting Dubai for the second time, to take the trip at such a low price. He said, " I will definitely do it again. When I got there I made the most of Dubai with my friend. We went to a water park, an off-road excursion, and the mall - it was a crazy experience."
Callum left Luton on June 2 and arrived in Bulgaria the following day before making his way to Dubai. Because he split the cost of his stay at the Citymax Hotel Bur Dubai with a friend, he booked four nights there for a total of £21.75 each night.
On June 7, Callum traveled back to the UK for a total of £72.85. With Wizz Air, he traveled a different route, including a stop in Albania.
