London seems to be turning too pricey for its citizens. In an unbelievable incident, a couple flew to Milan just to grab some tasty sandwiches, as they found that travelling to London for the same was comparatively costlier.&nbsp;

49-year-old Sharon Summer made the decision to travel with her partner Dan Puddifoot to another country just to buy some sandwiches.&nbsp;

Earlier, the two had decided to go on a morning meal together. However, when they checked the roundtrip ticket from Cranfield, Bedfordshire, to London, it cost approximately £35 ($45) and £50 ($64.29) and the travel time was nearly an hour and a half.

The woman reached the Italian city at 10:50 am (local time) and started her day with freshly baked croissants and coffee.

"The&nbsp;day trips abroad&nbsp;are way more appealing, as most of the time they work out cheaper than staying in the UK. My Milan trip cost me less than £200, including the flights, transport, food and drinks," Dagmara said.&nbsp;
