I flew to Ibiza after work for a night out with my pals & was back in the office the next day – I couldn’t miss the fun
A BRIT flew to Ibiza after work for a night out with his pals – and was back in the office the next day.
Ben Matthew Saunders’ friends were holidaying in the Spanish party hot spot to celebrate one of their birthdays.
The 22-year-old was devastated he couldn’t join them on the getaway due to work commitments – but he didn’t let his shift stop him from missing out on the fun.
Ben decided to spontaneously jet out for the wild birthday bash on July 10 before casually returning to work the next day.
The bloke from Fleet, Hampshire, said: “I decided to go out there the day before. I know a lot of people use work as an excuse for not going on nights out or celebrating things but I didn’t want to do that, I felt bad that I couldn’t go.
“I did have work the day that I flew and the day after but I wanted to see if I could head out there for one night. Doing it gave me an adrenaline rush.
“My friend was really happy that I made the time to go.
He even revealed his mates didn’t believe he would make it until he proved them wrong.
“It was a very freeing experience for me as well. It was a great night out,” he added.
The TikToker used Sky Scanner to find return flights from London, which set him back £290.
He finished off a meeting at the National Theatre, London, at 2pm before dashing to London Stansted Airport to catch a flight to Ibiza at 5pm.
Ben jumped on the plane and managed to touch down in the party island at 8.40pm.
He called a taxi and arrived at his friend’s hotel in San Antonio where he dropped off his work gear and headed to the club.
The agency owner partied all night before picking up his bag, catching a bus to Ibiza Airport at 7am and flying back to London Gatwick Airport for 11.50am.
Ben travelled to Brighton via train and arrived at 1pm, just in time for his next meeting.
The whole adventure cost the influencer £400 but he said it was worth it.
He added: “If I planned it in advance I could have got cheaper flights but it was on a whim.
“With all the transport and access we have these days, you can go anywhere you want in the world, whenever you want.
“I have a lot of flexibility in my life and I can choose to do things like this.
“I would encourage anyone else to go for a night out in Ibiza if they can.
“I hope I’ve proved this is possible.”
