Spanish woman takes 44 flights a month between Palma and Ibiza because it’s cheaper than paying rent – World

Karla Andrade makes 44 flights every month between Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza to teach. The reason? It is cheaper to buy plane tickets than to rent a house. The woman lives in Palma with her husband and two children, but was placed teaching at a school in the center of Ibiza. With the rise in rental prices, women find themselves unable to move to the area where they teach.

According to Antenna 3renting a house on the island costs, on average, 2300 euros. It is the second autonomous community in Spain with the most expensive average rents.

The solution that Karla found is to fly between Palma and Ibiza on the days she has to teach. Get up at 5am to catch the plane, which leaves Palma airport at 7am, bound for Ibiza. The flight lasts between 20 and 30 minutes and at around 8:00 am the teacher is already at work, describing the Antenna 3. At 3:45 pm return to the airport to return home.

Karla says that the price of flights varies between 20 and 40 euros, that is, 44 flights at an average of 30 euros per flight, flying every day is cheaper than renting a house and in Ibiza. You spend 1,320 euros per month on flights, a thousand less than on rental
