Ryan Air when do they lower prices

Does anyone really know for sure when Ryan air generally lower prices?. Trying to book at present for summer and they are saying only x number fo seats left AT THIS PRICE.
This makes me think I need to snap the last 3 seats at a very high price too.
But, will they have more seats available later at a different price. I think they try to lure you into thinking there are only x number of seats left on the plane when it really says AT THIS PRICE.

We all have our theories but is there anyone out there, maybe a Ryan air employee, who actually knows??

    Paddy Here.........If i was to tell you,then,i would have to kill you
    The algorythms of the load factor booking system are a beauty to behold and anyone with a Phd in flight dynamics will find them easy to comprehend.
    Should you need any further clarification please hesitate to contact my office again.

    They lower prices when people aren't buying tickets for the flights but then as it gets closer to the flight date they raise the prices in the belief that anyone booking late NEEDS to fly and can be shafted

    Unless it's a popular flight (holidays/events etc) I generally find about 5 weeks before is usually the best time, but I'm not booking flights to holiday islands in the main summer months. Early bookers obviously book because they need to hit those date and the same with very late bookers.

    I booked a flight with another airline a few days ago. It said "only 1 seat left at £55". After i had made my booking, the price changed to £80. The following day it had returned to 1 seat at £55.

    The more you look at specific dates and times the more the flight increases in price......and after a while settles down in price again

    If you are taking luggage don't forget to factor that into the cost. For the Canaries with Ryanair it's £70 for 15kg and £90 for 20kgs. Easyjet is approx £32 for 20kgs!!

    I realise cookies are stored on your computor,and some people reccomend deleting cookies to avoid this price hike happening, but i am sure it is also at Ryanair's end that this is instigated.
