Group Of Mates Got Drunk In England And Woke Up In Spain

In a turn of events being dubbed the worst hangover ever, four pals went out for a few pints in West Midlands, UK, and woke up with sore heads in Spain the next morning.

Matt Weyman says that he and three of his mates were joking about jumping on the next flight to Spain because one of them showed up to the pub with his passport in case he got asked for ID.

A few beers later, things “sort of escalated” and the group of 23-year-olds found themselves at Birmingham airport around 3am boarding a flight to Costa Del Sol in southern Spain.

Their only luggage was a single iPhone charger shared between them (yes, they were allowed to bring it on board as carry-on). 

“I was in charge of booking the one-way tickets, but I was doing it on my phone and I messed it up,” 

Matt told The Mirror UK. “I paid for two lots of one-way tickets for both Saturday and Sunday morning.”

Apparently the £60 taxi to the airport cost more than each of the lads’ individual flights, because they had to stop at each of their houses on the way to grab their own passports. 

They woke up their parents in doing so, and only informed them of their impromptu travel plans after they’d already arrived in Spain. 

“Some have taken it better than others,” Matt joked. 

After those phone calls came the dreaded boss phone calls too – all four of them had to call their employers back in England and ask them for a few days off work.

Their bosses must have taken the news well because apart from one of them, the other three are still in Spain. They plan to stay for another week before returning home.

Matt posted a photo of the supplies he felt most necessary to buy on arrival in Spain, including flip-flops, vodka and a bag of Cheetos.

“We just asked a rep at the airport for a recommendation about where to stay and we have bought a few clothes,” Matt said. “We have also been swapping-shirts so it doesn’t look like we keep going out in the same top.”

Fellow passengers on the plane were shocked and amused when they overheard the four lads discussing their impromptu holiday, claiming it was a story they would tell their grandchildren about one day.

Perhaps they could call the story “Real Life Inbetweeners”?
