I had checked for a flight in February 2 weeks ago which is €40, but now its €60. Do you think if there is a chance the prices will go down again, or they will only go up?

Probably stay at 60Euros now, does it quite often and winds me up something chronic

Should have booked it 2 weeks ago, but friends keep on delaying me with a confirmation. Now the flight alone will cost me €40 more both ways.

Depends on how full the plane is.

If they sell no more seats and the plane is nowhere near full you'll see them come down again about 3 weeks before departure to try and shift them.

If people keep booking that flight between now and then the price will only go up.

It's a gamble basically!

Prices tend to start very cheap, get more expensive and then can get cheap again as they release more seats closer to the departure date. But if all the seats that had already been released are full, the new ones are expensive.

As above it is a gamble really.

Why let it wind you up?

Ryanair's strategy is to fill the airplane to maximum capacity, if that means selling at a lower rate to fill seats. Their prices fluctuate so buy when cheap!

This year Ive been to barcelona for 2p return, Hamburg for £10 return and Rome for £4 return.

Will gamble then and wait how the prices vary.

If the route you are flying has more than one flight a day then it is a busy route. In the unlikely event that loadings are light they will quite possibly chop one of the flights and amalgamate it with another. Has happened to me on more than one occasion.

Having flown Ryanair hundreds of times I have very rarely found prices go down nearer the flight. They employ a number of people solely to analyse and play with loadings since a low loading is not a profitable flight!

By all means gamble, when you finally book it repost and let us know how much you paid

We were in the same situation a few weeks back. RyanAir were offereing flights for £10 up until midnight on a certain date. We tried booking them at 11pm the night of the deadline and they had all gone up to £40. Then just after midnight, they went down to £1.

Shame they got cancelled due to the airport having to be shut down really, lol

Got fed up waiting and paid the €131. I just hate it when they just charge €10 fee after payment is done. Is it too much to ask to include them before you press "process payment"???

Anyone know of a cheap car rental in Greenwich area?

I think complaining about Ryanair is like moaning about the weather. We all do it but it is ultimately pointless. While I am no fan of Michael O'Leary he is pretty open and forthright about how they do business.
