To ask for insider info on best time to buy Ryanair flights

We live in Europe and want to travel home for Christmas, but money is tight so I need to get the best deal possible! I'm specifically looking at Ryanair Prague-Edinburgh flights. Does anyone know if there's a particular day or time that's best to buy the flights?

Covid has seemingly sent the predictable flight prices out of the window! It used to be best to buy as soon as the flights were released, but they're going up and down all the time. What's the secret?! Please help!

Apperently, Tuesday night is the best time for booking flights, in terms of cheap fares. Though obviously the more that becomes widely known, the less it actually works.

If you're keeping an eye on fares, the most important thing is to clear your cookies after each search / use incognito browsing.

clear cookies, fly out on tues or thurs or a sat and return those days also for the cheapest flights.....have done hundreds of ryanair flights since they started...the £1 stuff etc and always found those days the cheapest.

If I wanted to travel during a peak travel period, eg U.K. to Ireland between 20-24 December or U.K. to Malaga on a Saturday in July or August, and I had limited flexibility I would book as early as possible to get the best price.

If I could be flexible about dates and fly off-peak, eg U.K. to Ireland before 19 or after 26 Dec, or U.K. to Malaga Mon-Thursday, I would wait for airlines’ seasonal sales and book then.

Oh, clearing cookies? Not heard of this! What does that do? I don't suppose anything like that can be done in the app?
