RyanAir Spain Flights for August - Advice Needed

I'm looking to book a family holiday (2 adults, 3 children) in Spain (flying to/from Alicante airport) for August.  I'm fairly flexible with dates (could do anything in 6th-29th August window). However, whereas a week ago there were a number of RyanAir flights that were £70-£80 return pp (not including all the extras obviously!) and some were reasonable flight times, most are now over £100. Should I book now before it gets worse or will flight prices come down again? If so, when are they likely to come down?

Also, will RyanAir release more flights for August/have any sales for August flights to Spain? I'm also worried the coronavirus may increase Spain flight prices as people travel there rather than to Asia/Italy. Any advice/thoughts appreciated!

  • They arent going to release any more flights only 6 months away, what you see is what there is. As for the prices, stick your finger in the air, nobody on here is likely to know as much as you.

    Yep, that’s likely to be it. No more to be released.

    When you think about it £100 round trip from the U.K. on a 2h15m+ flight to Alicante in August is still remarkable value. 
  • Scottish schools go back in the middle of August. As you can travel up to the 29th August you could perhaps get acceptable fares if you are willing/able to depart from a Scottish airport. Glasgow International and Glasgow Prestwick would probably be the best bets. Edinburgh likely to be much in demand due to the festivals taking place there in August.
