Sudden surge in prices on Skyscanner

I was on Skyscanner this morning playing with flights from UK to Faro for April. There were some really cheap flights, with Manchester ahead on £13, but when I went back a few mins later it was at £47!
I could assume that all the cheap airports were showing Ryanair flights, but I'm not sure. If so, could this be the new caring, less picky, Michael O'Leary having read some of the suggestions he has been asking for of late, & thinking folk are not showing sufficient gratitude for all he has done for low cost flights?

    Prices on Skyscanner aren't real.
    Well not enough to rely on anyway

    It's usually simpler to go to the various airline websites and get the real prices, especially if there's only going to be 3 or 4 possible options anyway.

    I see RA have dropped the Captcha today, maybe that was the cause?
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    I doubt Ryanair have had any flights in April priced at £13 yet. Usually the cheapest fares aren't available until a couple of months prior to travel. Sounds more like a screw-up with Skyscanner.

    Oops - I really should have added some smilies; especially to the last sentence.
