    So I'm looking to get flights to Cologne from Dublin in December.
    On the return flight it's saying that there's only one flight left at a certain fare, but I heard that all flights are 25% off tomorrow....

    Can someone in the know advise me on whether I should buy them tonight at their current fare?
    Or risk waiting for the 25% off tomorrow that I'm unsure about - I'm especially worried about the One Seat at This Fare thing...does that mean that prices go up once that seat is sold OR that it is the last seat available on the flight?

    Do you have it in writing anywhere about the sale? I recently purchased a flight, albeit with AerLingus. Informed last one at that price so bought it. Went back onto the site numerous times since, same flight/date and today they have some sort of sale and total is coming in lower than I paid.
    Prices had initially increased on the days after I purchased though. Just meant last one at that price, and not just the last on flight.

    But, on that basis of the sale, I'd wait :)

    My boyfriend got an email, I'm getting him to forward it to me :).

    Fair enough, I just don't want to leave it and risk missing out on the flights altogether!

    I got the email too - it's only for flights in January.

    "From midnight tonight, we're offering you a massive 25% discount off all flights for travel in January!

    T&Cs: Starts: 00:01 GMT 04.11.14 Ends: 23:59 GMT 04.11.14. Excludes Business Plus. For Travel in January 2015 only."



    I never fully trust the airline sales, but if it's a choice between getting it (a flight in January) today and getting it for 25% off tomorrow then I would wait till tomorrow. If I had to wait a week or two, or it was 10% then I might just go ahead & book it, but for 25% (I know it's off an amount you won't know until tomorrow) then I would wait.

    Ah fair enough!

    I might wait until tomorrow then. But definitely buy them then to make sure I don't miss out on the lower prices! :)

    Just used the offer. Got return flights from Dublin to Prague for 2 in January for €137. Not bad.

    I had been looking at Feb too for my girlfriend's birthday but I don't think she'll mind getting her present a bit earlier :)

    All of the travel business is into high pressure selling, it goes on all the time. People are far too easily panicked into thinking they won't get such a good deal on the cruise/flight/holiday tomorrow.
