Failing that, fly to Edinburgh and get a train to Newcastle, extra 90 mins to journey but only £20 return... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They store info about your use of the website, which are generally helpful, such as remembering your password or remembering that you're interested in the weather in Bristol. They're also the buggers that show your Mrs what you've bought her for her birthday when she next goes on Amazon. In this case, they're recognising that you're quite keen for tickets to fly to Newcastle because you've visited the website 5 times in an hour. The website recognises this from the cookies, so hikes the price because they think you're desperate to get there to see Kodjias 92nd minute wonder strike. Turns out you are, so delete your cookies and the website may well think you're fresh meat, and not the City fan desperate to see us smash some magpies. The prices may well come down as a result. Good luck. But definitely clean the crumbs out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Brave move booking flights this early. Newcastle are likely to be near the top, and likely to feature on Sky regularly. Big gamble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliesboots Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm not getting anything near what's been mentioned here...closest I can see are flights Friday return Sunday for £185. Deleted cookies, all the usual stuff. Perhaps the Easyjet algorithm has worked out what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 As to booking flights in Feb 2017, considering how matches are subject to change, the weather and the reading of the tealeaves, I'd leave it till later. You've probably got a better chance of winning the lottery than predicting when the match will take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider_boy Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Flights that Friday I'm seeing £134, just £28 the Friday before. Similar increase in return flights on the two Sundays. Guess it is a matter of supply and demand, but Easyjet will be laughing if the date is changed - big risk at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbored Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Take a look at city wing who fly out of Gloucester I used to use them when I was working in IoM and am pretty sure they now fly to Newcastle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 The prices are so high because Easy Jet have figured out many people are looking to book, low demand = low prices, high demand = high prices. Same thing happened last time we played them. Leave it a couple of weeks or even months and the price will drop again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
