British friends meet in Spain because flights were cheaper than train ticketsJON NAZCA The friends swapped the cold, British weather for some heat in Malaga. When two friends decided to have a last-minute catch-up, they realised it was cheaper to fly 2400 kilometres to Spain rather than take a 320km train journey across England. After looking into flights, Walker found that she could get to Malaga for less than £20 return with Ryanair. The 27-year-old teacher suggested it to her friend, Zara Quli, who found return flights from her home town for £55.59 with Spanish budget airline Vueling. "There are always these last minute deals for flights and so we just checked for a better deal," she told British tabloid, The Mirror.
