IF you’re having a night out at Wetherspoons, you can expect to drop around £25 for a bottle of wine.
But skip the bottle next time and you could fly somewhere to a beautiful beach instead – sometimes with some cash to spare.
Of course, a bottle is always cheaper at a supermarket, but sometimes you just want to have a night out with your mates.
But there are lots of flights from the UK this month that are under £25 – so we’ve found 10 of the best which have a beautiful beach as well.
Faro
The Portuguese town is used as a gateway to the Algarve but it has its own amazing beaches too. Try Isla Deserta, home to just one restaurant but beautiful stretches of sand.
EasyJet has flights there for £19.99 when flying from London Southend or London Luton.
Biarritz
On the French basque coast is Biarritz, known for being both a surfing capital and a seaside resort once loved by royals – and nicknamed Paris-on-Sea.
Fly with Ryanair from Edinburgh for £19.99.
Santander
The northern part of Spain shouldn’t be overlooked, not least for its amazing ‘pitxos’ snacks – grab a bunch with some cheap wine to the
El Sardinero beaches for a relaxing afternoon.
Flights are £14.99 this month with Ryanair, and you can fly from both Birmingham and Manchester for the bargain fare.
Alghero
Did you know Italy has its own ‘Little Barcelona? Sardinia’s Alghero is just as beautiful especially with its white sand beaches.

Madeira
The Portuguese island of Madeira has some of Europes most beautiful mountains to hike, with some fantastic beaches underneath.
£16.99 flights with Ryanair take off from Manchester this month.

In the south of France, Beziers has four nearby beaches to choose from – Portirangues Plage, Serignan Plage, Valras Plage and Vias Plage.
