Do Ryanair and others charge more on flights if you view them first via Skyscanner?

I've been checking out Ryanair flights for three or four weeks time on skyscanner without booking them, but going through price and time section each time. I've noticed that the prices have jumped by a tenner in the short time I have originally checked them, then gone back and rechecked them. Is there something fishy going on?

    Do you get a different price when you check from a different device on a different wifi connection a few minutes later?

    I think the problem here is Skyscanner not the airline. It used to be very accurate, but now I find the prices are rarely accurate for any airline.

    I haven't tried, although I hear that if you use that hidden internet thing it can bring up a different price? It hasn't done in my experience though.

    Agreed, Skyscanner is nothing near as good as it used to be. I find myself using momondo more often than not these days.
