Strange Ryanair booking observation

SHCooper

Has anyone else noticed Ryanair bringing the price down rather than up nearer to the time of the flight?

I booked flights for my holiday in Italy (Liverpool - Pisa in July) back in April for £200. I checked today when booking airport parking and they had gone down to £100! I'm so shocked as this is the opposite of what normally happens and if flights are cheaper nearer the time then in future I will book everything last minute! Has anyone else had the same experience?

Suspect it's about demand. If they have a load of unsold seats, it's better to drop the price and sell them. If demand is high, they can push the price up.

That's standard Ryanair pricing policy. Prices start out at the high end, then drop when seats go on sale 2-3 months prior to depature. It's almost never a good iea to buy tickets before there's a sale IME.

About 6 weeks is good.
