So, is there ever a point whereby the cost of flights come down to get bums on seats? If so, when is that?!

Very very rarely with Ryanair and easyjet, they tend to go up closer to flight, oh and keep checking and the price will go up, book further away for maximum cheapness usually unless its a new route that's massively under utilised then it gets cheap about 3 weeks before.

Easyjet staff (and their mates) gets first dibs on any last-minute Easyjet flights which aren't full.
