Ryanair: "Only x seats left at this fare"

rorylando45

Hiya,

Does anyone know, when searching for flights on Ryanair and it says "Only x seats left at this fare", is that the cheapest I'm gonna be able to get it for? Or is there still a chance that the price could drop?

Cheers!

B*gger it, I just went ahead and booked it. 97.06 pounds for Stansted-Zaragoza on Friday 8th April, grossly expensive by Ryanair standards but that's the start of the Easter holidays so the prices could easily go up to 120+ pounds. Was only 47 last week, ARGH!

£97 is "grossly expensive"? Damn! Bring back the pre-Ryanair days when a hop across the Irish Sea used to cost £300+

My first flight across the Irish Sea was £2.14s.6d. With British Airways.

I did say "by Ryanair standards"! I'm used to flights costing between 1p and 20 pounds with them!

Meh, I dare say that you could get them cheaper.

It's just that Ryanair would have to sink incredibly low to be as bad as the days when I had pay Lord knows what to endure business flights with Aer Lingus from Manchester.

That was the best i could find (0n my limited finances) at the time. It was called the Starlight Flight and i always went standby. It got you into Belfast Airport (a long way from Belfast) after midnight.

I now use Mr. O'Leary to my avantage and God Bless Freddy Laker.

I miss them days to. During 2008 and 2009 I travelled most of Europe for 1p, £1, £3, £5 or at most £20 return.

I've noticed now that Ryanair only have the Ireland destinations for say £8 one way and then Poland/Italy/France/Germany destinations at £15.99 one way etc.

Someone on the MSE fourm's created an excel doc that contained all the promotions Ryanair had offered...not sure exactly where it is, but it would be interesting to see again.

Err....I think that would have been BEA.

On a humerous note here, isn't it amazing how we strive, haggle & trawl the internet to pay as little as £10-£20 pounds to fly hundreds of miles on a vehicle that costs millions of pounds to buy, thousands to operate, and is 'driven' by 2 of the most highly trained people in the world.

Yet then we are happy to pay more to get the 20 - 30 miles from home to the airport in a clapped out Nissan Bluebird, worth about £100.00, driven by a taxidriver who may or may not have the correct qualifications to drive the vehicle, and we automatically pay (without arguement) the fee that it shows on the meter in front............

Strange world, aint it!

Well there's always the possibility of a sale. But the likelihood is that they will continue going up
