So angry at Ryanair

[filthiestfis]

I booked a flight with them 4 days ago which cost £160 and the price on their website has now gone down to £100. Unbelievable! I am so angry!!!!

[NoMercy]

How many times did you visit their website looking at the quote for the given date before you proceeded with the booking?

[filthiestfis]

about 10 times

That's the way things go. If you had looked today and it was higher you would be delighted. It is, as you know, supply and demand.

[filthiestfis]

Yes but with airlines you expect the price to go up not that much down. This happened to me with an easyjet flight I booked last year and Easyjet actually gave me back the difference in the price in the form of an e-code voucher so I could use the credit towards a future flight. With Ryanair I know that once I have paid them I will NEVER see the money back under any circumstances.

Right, I used to commute backwards and forwards approximatey every 4 weeks and found that if I checked the price of a flight on, say, Monarch, then went and checked the prices on Easyjet, before going back to Monarch again, the price suddenly shot up by exactly £10, even if it was only 5 minutes later. I'm sure they not your IP address and know that if you are revisiting their site, chances are you haven't found a cheaper flight elsewhere, and so they can afford to shove their price up a little.

Ryainair aren't that cheap by the time they add on all their charges and they only allow you 15kgs of hold luggage as opposed to the 20kgs norm. On the whole, Ryainair are a shower of sh!te.

That is the risk you take with any air ticket.

If a flight is filling up, the ticket price goes up nearer the date.

If the flight is empty the ticket price goes down nearer the date.

That is supply and demand and the risk you take.

Agree with Nomercy - if you show an interest with some companies, they put the price up when you re-visit. Glad I'm not the only one to notice!

The moral to this story is avoid PikeyAir at any cost. They are thieving profiteers who have no moral compass. Mate of mine was on board an aircraft that had a technical fault and was on the ground for two hours before take-off. Part of the fault was that the heaters were on full blow, in summer, in a hot country (I think it may have been Greece). They rationed water supplies to one free glass per customer every half hour, and still continud to charge for all other drinks.

On the contrary, the moral of the story is you gets what you pay for.
PikeyAir, if it runs, is cheaper but you get the transport not the extra services. If it doesn't you get delayed, that's the risk.
SnobAir generally runs to the advertised schedule but costs more.

So the moral of the story is: once you've booked it don't check on prices later.
