They fly to Crete. I booked return flights a couple of days ago for 123 each. They're now 200. 30% off me hole.

You'd expect the price to go up closer to departure date though.

You'd actually expect prices to go down.
If you'd have seats to fill, putting prices up doesn't encourage people to buy, it just makes them look elsewhere

It's a carefully rehearsed pantomime .. put the prices up and people watching them panic and buy put them down again people think they're getting a bargain and buy. You can set a pricewatch with skyscanner and monitor the trends.

I'm actually currently doing that^ for Prague in August at the moment lol, I should've booked them two weeks ago, they were €170, but it wasn't definite I was going yet, and then the other day they were €240 and now they're around the €270 region. Hoping they come down in price again

Is skyscanner better than hipmunk?

Jetcost.ie seems to be the best flight search site to me, used to use skyscanner before it but a friend recommended it and it seems to always show cheaper results

Google.ie/flights outs all other sites to Shame.

Just tried out this jetcost. Somehow, it's giving me an offer of a fiver less for ryanair paris flights for two than other websites; even ryanair themselves. How did that happen? The website from jetcost that's offering this is edreams

When you go to pay for it there will more than likely be a an admin charge of more than the fiver when you click on method of payment.
Apparently this is quite common with edreams and bravofly and the flights end up costing more than with the carrier.
Also is there still a risk that Ryanair will refuse bookings from third parties

This is true, I remember experiencing it once so I just use it to scout the cheapest flights and go to the airline's site to book through them then, it seems safer to me as well anyway because an airline's website security would be better, or at least you'd expect it to be.

Is there a special link or discount code for the 30% off?
I'm getting 200e each way which is roughly the same or dearer than when I was searching a couple of weeks ago.

xraylady

I don't think so. - no code. I wonder if anyone has noticed any reductions at all ? I've just copied below, the T&C's printed at the end of the e-mail I was sent. I wonder is it just UK as doesn't give any 'from' Euro prices for Greece?

I think I just missed out, never spotted the Friday deadline
Would be nice if they extended it.

I'd tend to disagree with you there. I nearly always find that it leaves out many results that skyscanner finds.
