Ryanair Oslo Dilemma

Options
Hello

I'm in the process of arranging a trip to Norway in mid-August. Although the prices being quoted by Ryanair are good, I'm wondering if it's worth hanging on for their "£14.95" inclusive deal that they have on a regular basis?

I am concerned that if I wait any longer the current (reasonable) prices will soar and I'll be left gutted I hadn't booked now.

Does anyone reckon a £14.95 deal is coming soon? Cheers!

  • Hello there, how much are the flights now?
    This is my quest, to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far.

    With lo-cost flights I'd say if its a price your happy with, then book it. The airline's pricing structures are so complicated its hard to predict what will happen to a ticket price. Aside from the odd sale, the only other way the price will go is up. Even if there is a sale there is no guarantee your route/dates will be in it.

    If your happy to pay the price, and its reasonable, then book it, and forget about it!

    Ive looked , and no matter where you fly from with ryanair to OSLO (TORP) its only London , Liverpool and Glasgow anyway. Using the flightchecker you can do it for 99p (exl tax and charges) or it can be as much as £19.99:eek: exc taxes fees and charges, almost any date in AUGUST. So "YOUR DILEMMA:rolleyes:" at the most will cost you £40.

    That is 19.99 MAX FARE -99p MIN FARE = £19 FOR RETURN x 2 = £38 .
    £38 = DILEMMA?

    Thanks for the reply "Budgetflyer" but I don't think you understood (or properly read) my question. I'll explain again:

    I booked a flight with Ryanair back in January for £14.95 ALL INCLUSIVE. That was it, there was no more to pay. The 99p fares from the Flightchecker can quickly add up to OVER £14.95.

    My "dilemma" was whether to book NOW and get the flights, as you say for around £40, or WAIT for the £14.95 ALL INCLUSIVE fare offers to reappear - thereby a saving of more than £25 per person - which is money saving is it not?

    Cheers for the other more helpful replies though!

    You don't say where you are leaving from but they are advertising Oslo from Glasgow at £15 inclusive right now. However, departures in July/August are Tuesdays & Wednesdays only. I have no idea what availability is like.

    Ask Michael O'Leary !! TBH you are asking the impossible. How could anyone possibly know ? What anyone may 'reckon' is irrelevant as it won't be FACT. The price has got just as much chance of trebling as it has of being reduced again.

    PS. Don't knock those trying to help as you'll soon find you won't get much more. Budgetflyer was being helpful based on the question you asked.

    Yes, maybe you didnt understand what I was getting at either.My barks worse than my bite;)
    What I was trying to say was- at the moment , dependant on dates, your total outlay could swing by as much as £38 - Thats it.
    Leave it, and if ? OSLO (Torp) in the next couple of months becomes the "in place" to go, and fares rise, your differential could be MASSIVE.

    No one knows if fares will rise or fall. Its all down to demand. Even if Ryanair have an "All inclusive " sale, if the planes half full, you can bet it wont be at £14.99 AI
