Being overly moneyed often means you can jet off to foreign locations at the drop of a hat for the most mundane reasons. Can you fathom someone flying to another country just because they were craving some food? Well, this is exactly what a couple did. According to the Daily Star report, a couple living in the United Kingdom booked a flight to Milan just because they wanted to eat sandwiches. A British couple claims that they wanted to eat sandwiches but instead of travelling from their home to London, they thought it better to go to Italy for this. The reason behind this, they said, was that it was cheaper.
Sharon Summer, a 49-year-old woman, decided to travel abroad specifically to enjoy sandwiches. She and her partner, Dan Puddifoot, initially planned to have breakfast together. The cost of a ticket from Cranfield in Bedfordshire to London was between Rs 3700 and 4800, and the journey would take about an hour and a half. Instead, they chose to fly to Milan in Italy, where they found a flight for just Rs 1500. They spent the day exploring Milan, enjoying sandwiches, and then returned home by nightfall. The entire trip cost them only Rs 10,000.
“It was a gorgeous day with amazing weather. We ascended the Duomo di Milano and enjoyed lunch at The Dome restaurant. I savoured a unique pink lemonade garnished with marshmallows. We wandered around and ended up walking 20,000 steps,” said Sharon. Taking a day trip to a European city was on Sharon’s list of 50 things she wants to do before she turns 50 next month.
Even before this, many Britons have recounted how they took a wonderful trip to Italy with very little money. An X user had said that he reached Milan city by spending only Rs 2802 and spent the whole day having fun. After going there, he relaxed by going to the spa, spent the whole day visiting different sites and also ate Italian food famous all over the world.
