Ryan Air Booking

Is there any point to waiting in order to book the Budapest to Krakow flight? I assume its not really going to go down in price appreciably and the extra charges will always be the same. Since they fly the route so infrequently, I am beginning to worry about an October flight

The earlier you book the cheaper it will be. It will not go down closer to your date of departure. That is not how Ryanair and other cheapo airlines work.

If the fares are still reasonable, I would not risk waiting, but book as soon as you can - otherwise you might be sorry when they go up.

It's a guessing game where Ryanair hold the cards. Fares might go up or down depending on the level of booking.

Book when it's convenient for you, and then don't annoy yourself checking fares.

I did it. 2 tickets for over $75.00 per. Not a bad deal. Probably stupid to pay for a reserved seat on a one hour flight. But we are Seniors and I did not want to be nervous. Sure beats 10 hours on an overnight train. We will do the overnight Krakow to Prague. I think that is my limit. Paid for checked baggage too. Good reason to travel as lightly as possible
