    A quick look on Skyscanner.ie shows you can get over and back for about €40 for two sample days at the end of the month with Ryanair. Don't think you'll gain anything by waiting for a cheaper fare

    Oh I must have another look so. They were coming up as nearly 100 when I checked the other day! Thanks :)

    I defo wouldn't wait any closer to the time considering it's only a month away I think the flights will only go up as they fill up.

    Cancel all cookies on your computer as well before booking.

    I read recently that cookies will track that you are looking at flights and can altar the prices in the airlines favour....don't know how true it is, but why not.

    I booked London-Dublin return flights with Aer Lingus the other day for next week. Around £88 all in, so not bad when I left it so late to book. IMO January can be a quiet month for airlines.

    On another note, my sister booked Venice flights from Dublin back at the end of September for next April. If she's left it till now she'd have saved herself E100.

    I had read that the best time to book flights is around 14 weeks before. Sister's experience would bear that out.
