    same as shopping anywhere?
    just checked my current flights out of curiosity and 1 lot are now cheaper and the other dearer
    if you are happy at the time of booking then theres no problem.
    trick with ryanair is to pick a destination and watch it for a while, look out for tax free journeys,
    mine went up £15ish whilst waiting for my prepay card to top up, still happy with the price though.

    Some routes will have the lowest prices when the timetable is issued, others it can be as little as two weeks before travel.

    You have to ask yourself "how many people will want to be on this flight" and plan accordingly.

    I'm getting a bit worried because my ryanair flights for the end of august went up, then right down, and now have shot back up again, and i'm hoping I haven't missed the cheapest time! (waiting for payday...). It's probably only £50 difference but that's a lot to me! Unfortunately there's no other direct flights apart from easyjet which are £100 more.

    Hi Lgas,

    I'm the same decided last wk to book a villa, looked at prices which were £350 ish for family of 4, but looking at other dates realised best prices were around 4 weeks before at £250, however o er the following 2 days they jumped up to £560 and we have realised it is the week of the bank holiday that we fly back! A few travel agents have said they will continue to go up with it being near the bank hol :( I've got my fingers crossed they'll come down in the next 10 days as the others have!!
