    Hi there, looking for some advice

    I'm travelling to LGW in January to visit family for a weekend. Both Aerlingus and Ryanair fly this route multiple times a day, but Aerlingus for the outbound flight suit me time wise and was quite reasonable at €20, so I booked them for the departing leg. When checking Ryanair, selecting a round trip, I could see the return flight from Gatwick to Dublin was €51, when I go in to book this flight as a one way flight from Gatwick to Dublin the price is £46 which works out at about €62 on today's exchange rate. Now I know its only the sake of €11, but I'd rather that in my pocket that their's!! Anybody know if it's possible to book in Euro's for a flight departing from the UK on Ryanair's website?

    Yeah according to their t&c
    4.3 Currency
    Fares, taxes, fees and charges are payable in the currency of the country of origin of travel unless another currency is indicated by us at or before the time payment is made, for example, because of the non-convertibility of the local currency. We may at our discretion, accept payment in another currency.
    Ryanair guarantees the currency exchange rate at the time of booking the ticket. This exchange rate will not change. If you do not choose Ryanair's currency exchange rate you may be exposed to negative currency fluctuations between the time you make your booking and when your card issuing bank converts the transaction, as in most cases the currency conversion occurs a number of days after the date of booking the booking.
    .

    See here though, especially this :)

    Hope that helps,
