Just been on Ryan Air and booked return to Tenerife for £500 Easter school holidays for 3 of us including a case and seats ....
Just thought I'd give you all the heads up :innocent:

That price is only to put bums on seats. They will charge £50 extra per person if you want to take the rest of your body with you :wink:

Unsurprisingly, I am here to save money. How much is it to stand then? :wink:

Booked return flight to Gran Canaria earlier, £212 including bags, priority boarding and seat choice. That's 70 quid cheaper than paid last year.

Maybe if you'd have posted the deal earlier I may have paid an even cheaper price? :thinking:

I'm looking to go to Poland in Aug 18 is it worth paying the £102 with bags or waiting see if it goes cheaper any advice?

How longs a piece of string? :wink: Flights generally go up the more they're booked as they can ask more of a premium if it's in higher demand. So usually it's better booking as early as you can. Saying that I suppose if you waited until the last minute and they had a few seats they would knock the price down?

Sorry, but that just is not true. The earlier you book with any low cost airliner, the more you will pay. Prices only get slashed once the flight costs are met, up until availability gets to X% before prices increase as availablity is at a premium. Those "last minute deals" are for flights which have only just covered their cost and the airline is trying to make a last ditch attempt at a profit.

I did put a question mark. Was there any need for the gif?

Your talking rubbish. I fly with them at least once a month for work (And other people in my office once a week) and the prices always start off low and increase over time. 'Last min bargain flights' aren't really a thing with Ryan air or low cost carriers. as this is where they can really make their margin, charging people way over the odds when they need the flight.
I have checked the price of my flight a few times with them a day or so before flying (just to see what difference it makes) and I have never once seen my flight cheaper than what i paid
Obviously there will be fluctuations depending on demand, but in general prices increase the closer to departure

From my experience which may not be as much as yours, I've found the price starts at a OK price slowly creeping up then will have a sudden drop, which is hard to know when, then rise again to very high. Any sale times of the year is a good time to look. I paid £400 all in for 4 of us going Gran Canaria in August, I booked around 5 weeks before flying. Last year I booked in November for Easter this year again for 4 of us to Gran Canaria and paid £250 all in.

I think the fluctuations are related to the demand at the time. I booked my flights early for Xmas because Im flying multiple destinations. Most of my Ryanair flights are now cheaper , apparently there isn't enough demand atm. But as the number of available seats gradually will be decreased, the prices will go up.

OK.... :smile: I know its a bargain ain't it.
If you wanted the morning flight on Thursday this week its £58.99 same flight next week £25.19 then the week after £12.99
So the last min flight are more expensive. So get booking if you want to do it again or the price will only go up :smile:

+1 Same with Easyjet, the desperation to fly on short notice forces people to pay a premium (60 pound return to bulgaria booked 2 months in advance, 270 pound booked a week before)

60 days before you fly is generally the cheapest time to book with Ryanair
