A savvy 21-year-old decided to spend a random Tuesday abroad, as she jetted off for an 11 hour holiday in Barcelona.
Jade Taylor, a university student, swapped the soggy streets of Manchester for the beautiful beaches of Barcelona.
Jade caught a flight from East Midlands airport at 5:45am last Tuesday (7 May) and landed in the Spanish city at 8:55am.

Flying with RyanAir, the flights cost her £40 in total.
Jade then spent 11 hours exploring the city, touring all the places she wanted to go on her trip.
On her day trip abroad she visited iconic locations including the Cathedral of Barcelona and the Casa Batlló.
She even had the chance to kick back at the beach and soak up the sun whilst having a cocktail.
Jade said that the train ticket prices to London soaring to an eye-watering £100 or more encouraged her to go abroad.

After spending the day in the Spanish sun, Jade caught an 8pm flight back to East Midlands airport.
Jade Taylor told What’s The Jam: “It was definitely cheaper than a day out in the UK.
“A train ticket to London can be over £100.
“This one was my first day trip out of the UK and I definitely will be doing another one, especially when it’s nicer weather abroad.
