the cities within the email promoting this sale are

Paris 39.99
Dusseldorf 39.99
Barcelona 39.99
Brussels 39.99
Rome 49.99

bad timing of the sale for two of the cities.

All he mentioned was the two cities and the timing. Which would probably have been mentioned anyway.

Ban him?? Have a little chat with yourself.

I also got the email, but i dont see why it is "perfect timing".

Not a great bargain either tbh

Ive changed it from perfect timing to bad timing, not very sensitive of me,
as for the prices, i didnt think they were bad, hence why I posted it in Bargain alerts.

spurious

Automatic emailing no doubt. Mystic Meg is not on the staff.

I don't watch much news so therefore




Edit : I just googled and saw the news

gimmick

A plane from Barcelona to Dussledorf crashed earlier killing 148.

Aer Lingus have a sale today and Barcelon and Dusseldorf are mentioned.

Just bad timing.

Ah i know, i just have family who work in the airline industry, so im just being overly sensitive.

And yeah, the prices can be ok if you have flexibility in your schedule

If you feel someone should receive a ban, click the report button and let the mods decide.

Posting on the thread isn't helping, and you could be infracted for back seat modding.

People still don't seem to get how airline pricing works.

I was checking BCN just yesterday and had no problem finding flights for 90-110 with Ryanair & Aer Lingus. Flying early Sunday and back Tuesday.

If you expect a €40 flight on a Friday evening on a Bank Holiday then you will always be disappointed.

At the time of posting, travelling in 3 weeks, €96 with Ryanair and €118 with Aer Lingus (live prices, YMMV). How anyone can complain about that I don't know!

We probably have 2 of the best and most competitive airlines on the planet based here in Dublin. And we still manage to complain

UPDATE: Using the same link as above, prices now €90 & €96 respectively.
