How late can you book flights in EU? (alien.top)

So I’m spending December in Morocco and on December 31 I have a flight from Madrid to Nepal.

I’m an American and not used to these affordable flights 🥲 How late can I book my flight back to Spain before the price (currently around 20€) will increase drastically? I’m thinking Marrakech to Madrid either on Christmas or a couple of days after but still not totally sure. In the States, the price would have skyrocketed already but RyanAir hasn’t changed.

For what it's worth, my experience with Ryanair is that as long as you're outside of the season you can generally get good deals for flights a short time before. The trick is knowing what the season is. A flight from northern europe to southern europe in the middle of spring/fall might actually be sort of the in season for those flights.

But I've booked €10-€30 flights less than a week before they left.

If you want to be sure you could book 2 of those €20 flights and just cancel the one that you end up liking less. A €40 flight is still super cheap.
