12-hour round trip Ibiza mums to start travel business based on their whirlwind break

A group of mothers who took a 12-hour round trip to Ibiza and returned in time for the school run have appeared on ITV's This Morning where one has revealed that she's setting up a travel business offering the amazing day trip experience to others who want to escape to the sun.

Appearing on This Morning on Monday, April 3, Rebecca Ratcliffe, and four out of her five pals (Laura, Danielle, Danielle, Lauren and Fay), told a fascinated Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary all about their Balearic adventure during which they had brunch, beach time, club time and several outfit changes - taking just hand luggage.

Due to childcare and work commitments, the six women had just one day free together and had to fly to and from Ibiza in just 12 hours. They flew out of Manchester Airport one morning just after 6am and returned from Ibiza airport at 11pm on the same day - making it in time for the Monday morning school run.

"Off the back of all the interest we've had I've set up doing a travel concierge business that's going to launch at the end of April," said Rebecca. "[For] anyone really. Book for groups to be able to go off and seize the day. It's important that people look after themselves."

With the gang confirming that the trip cost £125 'door-to-door' they are sure to be inundated with bookings as their day trip to Ibiza sounded amazing.
