Do you think the release flight price will come down?
Hi
Booked our holiday through Disney directly and been waiting for return our return flight to be released, we are going for 3 weeks . The fight just got released on Saturday and its way more than I was expecting suddenly jumped right up to £725 each person. (AER LINGUS) Though booking the same flights through the BA website would be £620 each (not sure why that could be). Anyway I was expecting them to be around £400 worst case £500 as Ive been looking closely at the prices. Should I wait a few days? Im worried that it will go up even more. Thanks |

Also waiting. We're going in April '19 and Aer Lingus has one up to £885pp, was at £546pp for a week prior to my dates (still in Easter hols). Im praying they will shift down soon, id be gutted to pay nearly £900pp indirect x

Our Easter holidays are 1st-13th April, we are leaving 23rd March a week before (dont think anyone is on holiday then) so expected much lower price, when I go on to book it looks like a block of 40 seats on the return flight were booked the minute it was released so not sure if that hiked the price up. I might give them a call, but think they will just say "prices fluctuate" ...

That is a funny time for Easter holidays, aren't they usually at Easter.
I don't think you see flights for £400 very often, but I would have thought £500-600 would be quite doable in March. I'd maybe hold off, keep checking and buy when you see an acceptable price. Prices do fluctuate and there are sales from time to time. |

Simple answer is no ... not any more !
Schools are moving towards a spring break to avoid unequally balanced terms as Easter moves each year. The schools still close for the bank holidays if Easter falls in term time though. I'd hold off for a bit Edited at 12:33 PM. |

"That is a funny time for Easter holidays, aren't they usually at Easter."
Yes our council and many others in Scotland decided a few years ago that it would be the 1st 2 weeks of April regardless of when Easter fell. This is one reason we decided to go this time, also so did everyone else it would seem :/ The same flights are £550 on Skyscanner going through BYOjet , netflights.com - can these be trusted? never heard of it, its still £620 on the BA site and has not jumped in a matter of hours on Aer Lingus site to £800. This is exact same indirect flights times ect. Im starting to panic now, why such a difference? |

Yes Its £616 on expedia for the same flights the other options are £580 but change airports Gatwick to Heathrow in London which is something I wont consider doing so its deffo the flight via Dublin we need. Im not flexible with the dates any more as hotels have been booked on release from Disney.
Think Im just gonna book via the BA site and at least get some airmiles |

Still waiting for our return dates to be released... (20th April) I’ve seen so many different prices. Hoping for around £550 mark indirect. Not fussed on route as long as in budget. They may come back down in few weeks 🤞🏼
