Flight prices

Luap

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.
