Martin Lewis explains how you can book £5 flights to Europe's most stunning destinations

A cheap-as-chips trip to a number of stunning locations

Fancy flying to one of Europe's best holiday destinations for a fiver? Well, Martin Lewis has you covered.

The money guru, who founded Money Saving Expert (MSE), has revealed you can get flights to the likes of Ibiza as well as Mykonos and Rhodes in Greece for £5. And in some cases, it is under the fiver mark, which is literally the same price as McDonald's recently announced first-ever meal deal.

Lewis gave the huge value for money advice in his latest MSE newsletter, which he emailed to subscribers on Tuesday evening (8 October).

It's the latest bit of valuable travel advice from Lewis and his team, with one of his fans emailing in after claiming £600 on a little-known refund rule upon being forced to cancel their holiday at the last minute.

Another reader (spoiler, me) also managed to get their hands on more than £600 by following his advice when their Ryanair flight was delayed by more than four hours.

In the new newsletter, Lewis issued an urgent plea to every unmarried couple living in the UK, in which he warned about unforeseen financial issues if they don't follow his advice.

And a bit further down, it was all eyes on heading overseas for a few quid.

"Can you fly for under £5 one way? A discount means we've found Mykonos and Ibiza for £5 or less," Lewis writes. And it includes half-term dates according to the MSE website.

The key to doing this is by using Trip.com's mobile app.

By using the app, passengers are able to secure a £10 discount for their first three bookings via the app.

Using this alongside the app's 'low fare finder' deals has seen Lewis find flights to the above three destinations across October and November this year.

The MSE team was able to find a flight from Manchester to Rhodes for Wednesday, 30 October for £4. A flight on the same date from Belfast to Ibiza was also £4, while a one way ticket from Gatwick to Mykonos on Wednesday, 23 October was going for a fiver.

LADbible had its own look on the Trip.com app where, with the discount applied you can book £4 flights to the likes of Geneva, Belfast, Faro, Corfu, Majorca, and Split. Unreal value.

Lewis says that 'most of the really cheap flights' are with easyJet, with a couple from Wizz Air.

He adds: "We've found plenty of flights, including during the coming half-term, for under a fiver with this discount factored in.

"Of course it's trial and error, and there are the usual luggage costs."

The MSE website adds: "For the lowest prices, you’ll need to book two single flights. The discount works on one-way as well as return flights, but the 'Low Fare Finder' showcases super-cheap one-way trips only.

"You can still grab a bargain by searching for a single trip returning home and playing with the dates. Go quick if you see a flight you want – some of the bargains we saw were no longer available an hour later."
