Can I book flight from Scotland with Euro?

    I'm trying to book a flight from Glasgow to Dublin. Why don't Aer Lingus give me an option to pay this in Euro rather than GBP, the issue for me is I can't pay it with laser. In the dropdown menu the option for laser is there, but it won't recognise the card (which is fine by the way) when I click purchase.

    How do I get around this please?? Thank you

    Moved to the Travel forum.

    OP - this is happening because you are departing from the UK. I don't know if there is a way around it.

    They'll only let you book with Laser for flights originating from Ireland.

    Thanks. It's kinda odd then that they have the option for Laser in their dropdown menu though.

    Same issue this time with Ryanair. I'm sure I booked a flight from Glasgow Prestwick with Ryanair in the last month and paid with a laser card, I have now tried to book again and there is no option for laser. I know they are a law unto themselves but would they have changed it already? Is there a way to change it so the payment is in Euro and not Sterling?
    Checked and can still pay with Laser for flight from Dublin

    Give them a call and see if they will o it that way but it may cost more than online.
