    I think the way Ryanair's booking system works is that if they have 5 seats available at £10 and 5 at £20 then if you book 10 seats they will all come up at £20.

    If you book individually you will probably get the first few cheaper and then the price will go up. In fact, the booking system may detect a "rush" on that flight and put the prices up even more. Try booking the seats in blocks of 3 or 4 and see if that makes a difference.

    Doshwaster has it correct.

    The only trouble booking it in smaller blocks is you don't know Ryanair won't push the price up even more when you get to book the last few seats. Booking all together you have a guaranteed price, you may well save dividing it... but its a gamble that may or may not pay off.

    We always do split bookings and the top price has always been what was stated originally. Book one ways may save you some too as the numbers may be different for rtn flight + may be priced in Euros. ie 1 euro = £1GBP
