Swiss flights Aer Lingus currency

DavidJC · 2011-08-03 15:07:22

I regularly booked flights for my sister to travel from Geneva. I usually book 1 way GEN-DUB (mandatory Swiss Francs) and DUB-GEN in euro. I save a few quid on the return leg that way as invariably the Euro price is cheaper. However, the CHF has strengthened alot recently and today I'm seeing a 40-50 difference in fares…

Because you can't start your journey in Geneva in Euro you are forced to pay the high rate.

Is there any way around it? I phoned and the fare was even higher!
