    Thomas Cook have flights from Lanzarote to Manchester Airport (I picked as it's fairly central) for £90 tomorrow. Gatwick £82, Birmingham £97.

    Did you ask any relatives if they could buy you the ticket on their credit card and then you pay them back? They might be more open to that sort of lending than just giving you cash!
    Have you checked with your bank about an overdraft?
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

    Do you have any form of travel insurance that may be able to assist you?

    So people who know you and love you are prepared to let you become homeless and penniless abroad?

    Why would you expect a stranger (bank) to help you out if those who love you won't?

    Two nights working in a bar = 1 flight ticket home.

    Maybe the £500 is for beer tokens.
