    It might be to you but let's say the OP availed of a free flight from Ryanair, then foolishly tried to get an overweight bag through and had to pay hefty fee instead then the OP would be feeling aggrieved. And £3 would represent a huge increase in the original price of the flight. If it's so unimportant why does the OP refuse to tell us the price of the flight - you see that's the trouble when lemmings rush to jump on to the anti-Ryanair bandwagon ...they don't like answering a few simple questions which might see the well of sympathy run bone-dry.

    Nobjocki ..... You are the only person on this thread who has so far failed to get the point, which means you are either incredibly stupid (which I know you are not), or you have other personal reasons for choosing to ignore the facts as they are and instead choose to toss in "what ifs" and completely irrelevant comments.

    As I say, I know you are not stupid, but your repeated off topic comments on this thread really, really do make you look otherwise.... Sorry.

    Does it matter what he paid for the flight, whether it was 1p or £1,000 is irrelevant. The fact is that RyanAir are somehow converting Euros to ££s at their chosen rate after the customer has authorised them to take Euros and Euros only. What if they had charged him £1 million for the 60 Euros, would it be right to complain then, what limit do YOU think is wrong?

    How much was the flight ?
    Simple question - simple answer.
    Why the reluctance ?

    Take it as far as you can and let us know the outcome, please.
    I will do for the benefit of those who genuinely perceive the problem:o

    I still don't get this - you have a receipt from Ryanair showing how much they charged you yet you don't know the amount you paid for the flight..
    I know exactly how much I paid for the flight, it was the price I agreed to when I booked the tickets on line. Your interest made me look back at my records. So, if I tell you the flights were a total of £5 excluding taxes your reactions will be somewhat predictable, but if I paid £500 what will your reaction be? I fail to see if your awareness of the price paid changes the situation.

    By the way,should be lucky and get your £3 back here's what I would do - buy a Ryanair share.

    Thanks for the financial tip, my money is well invested, which may or may not include RA shares, my portfolio is quite diverse. But if I were to buy some RA shares, rest assured, it would be more than one:beer:

    OK, I still do not see the relevance but I paid £375 including taxes for 4 adults, as we know your maths is questionable that is £93.75 each:rotfl: now you know, does that change anything?

    BTW, my flights later this year are under £45 each, could have got them for under £35 but I really couldn't be arsed to get an electron card, not worth the hassle to save £16 IMHO:rotfl:But that is my decision, not RAs.

    Analysis that & you MAY(?) understand the term PRINCIPLE.

    And here we get to the crux of the matter - you seem to be saying you can't be arsed to do a number of things which might save you money yet you get up on your high horse about three quid.
    But not so " principled " that you won't be giving Ryanair your business again this year.
    As I said originally - you just got narked because you got caught for the excess baggage charge.
    And by the number of angry smillies you use I'd say you get narked quite easily.
    Spare us the hubris.

    The OP CLEARLY stated in the OP that they were not aware of the charges but accepted them. :rolleyes:
    What they didn't accept was the way a Euro sale morphed into a GBP figure on their credit card statement. ;)

    The OP has CLEARLY and REPEATEDLY stated that it is not the money but the principle that is of concern. :rolleyes:

    The OP has CLEARLY stated that they take issue only with the conversion pocess and that they are perfectly happy with all other aspects of Ryanairs service. ;)....
    ....
    And last but not least, it comes as no suprise whatsoever that having been advised of the cost of the flights you have nothing more to contribute other than to repeat your off topic, missing the point, irrelevant, nothing whatsoever to do with the issue in hand posts..... Sorry Nobjocki, I don't know what your angle is, but your performance on this thread highlights to me that you have zero credibilty when it comes to issues related to Ryanair.:rolleyes:

    I'm still no clearer as to why you feel the need to defend someone who seems eminently capable of looking after herself.
    Unless,of course, you're a sanctimonious busybody with no life who feels you must tell strangers whether they have credibility or principles or whatever.
    I questioned the OP's complaint about losing three quid.I know it's the principle and so is democracy and the right to vote but some things are worth getting upset about and others, frankly, are not.
    If she hadn't got hit for the excess baggage charge she wouldn't have raised this complaint.
    Get over it.

    Lots of smillies again but no really intelligent reply to my posts..
    So let's try this.
    What's very interesting is that normally Ryanair provokes a fairly vigorous response from people on this forum.
    They have their own tales to tell about lost luggage and being stranded in airports miles from anywhere.
    But hardly anyone has come on to offer sympathy for your concerns about being fleeced by three quid on an otherwise cheap flight.
    The silence has been deafening.
