    Looking to travel from Cork to Faro at the start of September. But the flights prices seem to be sky high atm.

    Will these price come down if I leave it off awhile?

    Thanks.

    hang on.
    Are you looking to go for the Ireland v Gibraltar game in Faro at the start of September ?

    And you expect the planes to be empty, seeing as obviously nobody at all would want to travel to Faro for that particular weekend.

    Every time a match happens, folks get humpy about the prices, but when a plane can hold 170 passengers, and a few 1000 want to travel, then the cheap seats sell out the minute the fixture is announced and after that the handful of seats left are sold at a premium price.
    Its not a scam, its what happens when demand is far higher than supply.
    (tangent, at the moment its 30+ in Germany, so electric fans are sold out in many shops so folks are selling them online at a premium, again, an example of what happens when demand exceeds supply)

    a way round that would be to go on a bit of a tour.
    i.e. Dublin->Bauvais is 50euro on the morning of the 3rd, and 3 hours after arriving theres a flight to Faro for €29. Cant see a deal for the way back, but its not me stuck for a flight. Use sky scanner and you can get a listing of all flights out of Faro and work it from there.
