Has anyone found the best time to book tickets with them? The prices fluctuate so often. Some clever camper must have worked out a strategy. Cool

Also, always use incognito/private browsing so that your ticket prices don't go up just because you've visited the site.

As far as I am aware, they use an algorithm that increases prices as site traffic increases. More specifically when certain destination search traffic increases.
I would imagine searching at 4am would give great results if this is the case.

Certainly the worst of the cheapy airlines I ever flew with. Seat, £19.99, booking fee £6.99 or something similar, wankers.

Did they ever get round to charging for using the bog?

I believe that was just a publicity stunt. I guess, in their eyes, no publicity is bad publicity.

Problem is that once decent airlines are now going the same way. BA now charge you extra to check a bag in. Won't be long before Virgin will be expecting their Upper Class passengers to get themselves to the airport.

No alternative sadly as the airport is small and thus they are the only carrier

The booking fee or whatever its currently called is only charged if you pay by credit card?

All fees are included in the price now after they got lambasted a few years ago about it. The only addition is if paying by CC (like many companies do now to offset the increased transaction charges)

Non. They do Barcelona itself, some 1.5hrs drive further South

You don't have to run to the plane to get a decent seat anymore, so that's something.

I gather you get a specific seat now, is that right?

You don't fly with a budget airline if you're bothered about choosing your seat. Razz

I would imagine that booking a flight to the med is best done while they are searching for a plane at the bottom of it.

Book 7 weeks in advance, and buy your tickets on a Tuesday afternoon. True story.

Never buy tickets on a Friday.
