Just imagine for one moment that for less than the price of a return train ticket from Swansea to Newport - you could find yourself somewhere very different indeed.
Instead of the pavements of a Welsh city and less than certain weather, you could be in touching distance of warm sunshine, sand and Sangria! Well, that's not just some pipe dream but reality. You can actually fly direct to Malaga, the Spanish city best known for its stunning beaches, for as little as £19 this June from Cardiff Airport.
BudgetAir and Ryanair will have one-way flights from Cardiff International Airport, directly to Malaga for as little as £19 on Tuesday, June 27, and that's not the only cheap deal around. Cardiff Airport has plenty of other affordable flights to popular destinations across Europe this June. From beach holidays to city breaks, there are a wide variety of locations to travel to for under £50. And with the cost-of-living crisis squeezing household budgets, it may be an opportunity for some to see some sunshine without breaking the bank.
You can find lots of cheap flights from Cardiff and other airports on Expedia.
