Ryanair London Stansted - Zaragoza

Hiya,

I need to fly from Stansted - Zaragoza on Friday 8th April, and the only airline that flies this route direct is Ryanair. Was checking last week and the flight was only 46 pounds, which was great, but by the time I got home it had gone up to 97 pounds, grrrrrrrr. I've been checking daily now, and every time a new promo deal begins it's still 97 pounds. Once the April fare sale starts (recently the sales have just been for Feb and March flights) is it likely to go down at least a little bit? Or should I just book now at 97? I know it's unpredictable but hopefully someone knows if all flights go down when their month's sale begins.

Best wishes,
Ruaraidh

  • Gotta be there on the Friday, on that flight! Thanks for your help though :)

    I can't decide whether to book now, or wait. I'm fairly sure that once an April sale starts, the price must go down a little bit, or at the very least stay the same...I hope!

    It's a Friday evening flight so might be popular with people going for the weekend.
    It's also near the Easter school holidays so might be popular with families going to Spain for a holiday/to see relatives.
    Ryanair might have no reason to put the flight on sale if it may be popular.

  • Don't know if it is any use to you but I bought Edinburgh Marseilles flights in January, flying in July, cost me £111 for two returns. Same flights today are £390.54.

    It's a bit like Deal or No Deal.

    If you think that £97 is a fair price and you have got to be there at a certain time book it now. If, on the other hand, you are a gambler and don't mind losing out, hang off.

    I know what I would do. I would book it now, be happy with that price, and forget about what might have been.

    That Noel Edmonds chappie has got a lot to answer for.
