I believe flights are released in stages, possibly by routes, as I know the Faro route I'm interested in isn't always available very early when others are. As for prices I understand seats are in price "brackets". Some at the lowest price then, when they are booked, the next price bracket applies then the next and so on. This encourages passengers to book early to get the cheapest seats. Therefore the first prices are not "held", it just depends on the popularity of each route. Unless someone knows otherwise........

Hi Big Col & Co...... could I ask... do easyjet release the flights immediately after midnight on those dates or are they released start of the working day, say 7am ish ? And if they are released just after midnight do the first prices hold for 12hrs or so or do they slowly increase almost straight away ?? Thanks in advance....

Have to agree Andrew I have always stuck up for Ryanair but they are beginning to have that affect on me. They say this latest bag drop going on is nothing to do with money it is just to avoid delays. OK it its not about money why not just say you will have to drop your hand luggage at check in free of charge. We usually book flights well in advance for me and wife. Up until this year if we wanted to add Grandaughter to booking we could book her online as an adult no problem. We now can`t do that we have to phone up and link her to the booking....guess what this costs £30 extra. I contacted Ryanair and said it would have actually been cheaper to book her with another adult and have the extra seat....Their response...Tough. When I book now I always check Easyjet and Jet2 in fact going home in October and using Easyjet.

The in flight drinks are very competitive though, it’s just the cost of hiring a glass to drink it from which makes it expensive!
Joking apart, we just, as part of a package, flew Tui, it was so civilised compared to the arrogance /aggression of flying Ryanair, we were treated like valued customers not cattle that they look for every opportunity to penalise and charge you more. I acknowledge you know what you’re booking at what price but my tolerance level of Ryanair, at a cost I know, is fast running out. |

Have you seen the latest scam on Ryanair baggage costs?
Its now mandatory to purchase priority boarding if you want to take a bag with you - either in the cabin or hold - after Nov 1st

Hi everyone. I've just booked Ryanair flights July-Aug 2019 (through Skyscanner) for £189 each plus the usual bags costs. Not bad eh?!

This has been obvious for some time; Airlines ‘FIDDLE FIGURES’ to give impression flights on time and reduce delay payoutshttps://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1008920/flight-times-average-flight-delay-compensation-British-Airways-Ryanair-Easyjet-Gatwick

Yes, that's my line of thinking too. Not really the airlines fault on this occasion. |

We paid just over £650 for two return Manchester - Faro flights end Aug - Early Sept 2019. Paid for decent time morning flight, seats and breakfast. Used to be able to book similar just 3-4 years ago for around half this price. I know there are some cheaper flights available, but Times, Seats, etc are important to us

Thanks. It will be interesting to see what the prices are like as we will still not know the full details regarding Brexit. They might be much the same as before but with some sort of supplement condidtion.

Yes that is correct but I pay the £5 Hands Free charge and put my normal cabin trolley case in the hold so that we can tale liquids etc. If you do that they give you a receipt and that allows you to take another small bag into the cabin. I could easily fly without any hand baggage at all as I normally sleep for most of the flight and I can easily manage without what some people would class as life's necessities (pc, tablet, mobile etc) for a couple of hours (or even longer).

Dicey I thought when Ryanair said you had to pay to take hand luggage on board I was under the impression oh great will put liquids etc in the bag and it will go underneath. Of course greedy Oleary gets around that by making you take your hand luggage through security. We too keep the duty free bags and a couple of WH Smiths that you get at UK airport for coming from home. Always handy in case ofoverload.

The last two Ryanair into Faro we did parked right out side the glass entrance door, for passengers from airside, it couldn’t get any closer, down the steps, cross the road we were into passport hall, honestly, you could not get a foot closer, brilliant.
