A Sunderland fan says he has booked flights via Menorca to see his team play at Wembley after discovering it was cheaper than booking a train or flying direct.
James Jelly, 33, is among thousands of Black Cats fans heading to the capital for the League One play-off final with Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.
He said other ways to get to London would have cost him a lot more.
He has paid £51 for two flights and a hostel in Menorca, with breakfast.
Mr Jelly said: "I do things without thinking and when we were sitting in the cricket club discussing travel options for Wembley, I thought there must be another option than spending six hours on a coach or spending hundreds on a train to London.
