Just have to let you all know that you can fly to the Huddersfield match for 30 euros, yes......30 euros all in. I just booked. Ryanair Dublin to Gatwick 07.45, return 21.55 30.58 euros return all in. Bargain.
Ha ha Mr.O'Dreary must have realised the Irish R's are booking all his seats. I got 3 of us booked for 30 euros each.
Out of curiosity I just visited the Ryan Air website - the ticket price is automatically converted to CAN$ but that seems like an incredible price. What is the eDreams discount? Over here it costs C$60 to buy my kids return bus tickets to where they attend university, just a 2 hour trip away, and those are reduced student fares. Ticket price C$ 37.45 This price includes promotions eDreams Discount = -C$ 20.00 Tax included Service fees not included Departure Sat 18-Jan-14 07:45 Dublin (DUB) 09:10 London (LGW) 0 Stops Return Sat 18-Jan-14 21:55 London (LGW) 23:15 Dublin (DUB) 0 Stops 1 Passenger
First of all, you'd be very welcome. Secondly, the flights are only cheap if you manage to make the flight.
30 euro return is exceptionally cheap Kilburn. The current price tonight is 52 euro return. During today, those flights have gone from 30 euros to 41 euros to 52 euros. It is years since I got flights to London so cheap. I'm not too sure what the e-dreams discount is that you refer to. Inky, let me know the story with the SE R's. Unfortunately, the prices have gone up twice in the past 10 hours or so. You snooze you lose.
In Canada, if you search on Ryan Air you seem to get automatically routed to this website which has that eDreams discount component. http://ca.edreams.com/engine/campai...wsearchcpc=1&gclid=CO-N9P_-4LoCFStgMgodxRwA9g I do note that the price for your flight has now gone up to C$52.79 from the earlier C$37 amount. I believe this is possibly based on the loading of the plane for that future flight - perhaps when you booked your tickets @ 30 Euro it was an empty plane, but as more & more people made the same reservation, the plane filled up and so did the price - wouldn't surprised if there wasn't some sort of computer model that adjusts the seat price as the plane fills up. Actually many years ago here with Air Canada I noticed a rather odd thing thing when my wife decided to take 3 of our kids up to Montreal for the March school break using travel points to stay at a hotel - more convenient return tickets out of Fredericton were $229 return per person, yet from Saint John (just one hour drive away) they were only $109, and from Halifax (4 hr drive away) they were $79 for the same destination, so I drove the family down to Saint John, then picked them up at the end of the week. I also noticed that as soon as I bought our 4 tickets online at the lower price, it suddenly went up to $159/person and the next day it was $189/person - so that was when I hatched my more empty the flight, the lower the ticket price theory, which may in reality not be the case.
Keep monitoring lads, it MAY go back down again. I have been told that airline booking engines can be complex and prices can go up and down a few times ahead of the scheduled departure date, depending on how quickly the flight is filling up. I have heard that at weekends the prices will appear dearer because that is when people often have the time to sit down and plan and book flights, whereas there is a lull mid week. Doesn't always work that way though.
