How it works
Fly out early, spend the day there, fly back the same evening. The price is the return flight plus our estimate for the day on the ground: getting into town and back, plus food. No hotel.
Flight prices are real fares for that exact date, checked 16 to 20 October 2026, plus BudgetBro's cost for the day on the ground. Fares move daily, so each trip page shows today's price.
