With easyJet you can book flights out from one UK airport and then organise it so that you return to a different UK airport and the price shown for the flights will be shown in sterling.

Can you do this with Ryanair? when I try it with Ryanair it always states the prices in euros and I'm sure there will be some con involved in the conversion back to sterling for the billing.

    I made an error, one of many. I expect that it isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that you've made one or two too?

    Let me go and hang myself.

    You will be making 2 separate bookings. One from the UK for which you will be charged in GBP, the other I presume from somewhere in the Eurozone for which you will be charged in Euros. The conversion rate and fee will be set by your bank.

    This seems to depend on the type of card involved. When I pay for a flight priced in EUR (or whatever) with my Visa Electron card, the card is charged in the foreign currency and the rate & fees are set by the bank.

    However, I used to pay with my Visa Debit card - in this case Ryanair would convert the amount into Sterling at their own rate and charge the card in Sterling.
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning

    Ok so maybe best to pay this type of bill with Electron I guess.
