I'm sure Brits all over are already sick and tired of the chilly temperatures in the UK right now, with many longing for a change in scenery and weather - no matter how brief.
Well, one Brit has done just that and flew to Milan for just £27 for a luxury spa day and some proper good food while still being able to make the flight back to London that very same day.
Complete with pasta and even some mouth-watering gelato - it's fair to say this person really made the most of a day-off.

The Brit, who goes by the handle @EttyTweets online, took to X, formerly Twitter, to share with their thousands of followers the latest getaway they embarked upon.
They shared four pictures showing memorable moments from the trip, including the picturesque spa, the historical Duomo di Milano as well as a proper good plate of 'za.
They captioned the post writing: "£27 05:45 flight to Milan, spa day, pasta, pistachio pizza, gelato and catching the 20:30 flight back to London."

The post has since gone viral after clocking up over a million views in the two days since it was first uploaded over the weekend (11 November).
Many have since rushed in to ask questions about the experience, with one X user asking: "What restaurant did you go to for pizza?"
The jet-setter responded: "Ristorante Galleria inside that shopping gallery near the church."

"I really want to do this exact thing," penned another. "Any tips please?" to which the thrifty traveller replied: "Go on Skyscanner or Kayak to check for flights, use Citymapper to get around and use TikToks on things to do and see during the day."
Talking about the spa, which was the QC Termemilano, they explained: "You just go in and relax.
"They have soothing music playing and have many incense bottles places in the room to just get you relaxed."
The Brit has clearly inspired a whole bunch of people, with one exclaiming: "I need this level of spontaneous!"

"Oh lawd I need someone to take me asap," wrote a second.
A third chimed in: "I need friends I can do this with!!"
"Need to try these day trips one day," echoed another.

A final X user added: "I done this last month and it was sooooo exhausting but also one of the best things I’ve ever done."
When in Milan - eh?
