Ryanair.Can I book 2 one-way flights instead of a return to save money?

Christmasshopper

I am trying to book flights to Barcelona and back. The cost of 2 return flights is £98 but if I check one way flights it comes out as £31.56 there and 70.38 euros back. I think 70 euros is about £50. So by my reckoning I would save about £17 by booking one-way flights instead of returns.
Could someone check my maths, please?
Is this allowable?
Would the credit card company add a surcharge if I pay for the flights home in euros?
I like the idea of saving £17, but I don't want to cause myself bother!

Absolutely, I have done this many times and guarantee no problem
I paid with my Nationwide debitcard so great exchange rate and Ryanair fee cheaper using a debitcard

you have hit gold there

just looked at going to Girona from Luton £39.99 for the return leg but if you book it as a one way from Girona to Luton its 39.99 EUROS.

£12 saved already!

So in future guys, it pays to buy 2 legs.

This works with the Girona leg quite a lot.
Noticed this for Marseille next month.
Uk rtn leg £39.99 doing it as a single 44.95 Euro saving around £8.

If you are down south don't overlook BA return flights Gatwick-Barcelona for £47ish fully inclusive of taxes etc. Not much/any availability until mid september at these prices but worth a look.

Is it worth doing this in any event? I did look into this from Manc to alicante but it seemed cheaper to do it return?

Some banks charge a GBP1.50 debit card fee for booking in Euros, per transaction.

I have booked to go to poland with friends on cheap flights.

Outbound with Sky Europe and inbound with Ryanair. Worked out far cheaper doing it this way about £55 return. Just remember you have to pay in whatever currency is used in the country you are returning from.

Check out Travel & Transport, skyscrapers on this website to see if any other airlines are cheaper.

Also print off your booking conformation - I never received an email confirming my booking, but lucky I printed off booking form before logging off booking site.

Hope this all makes sense.

Ive done this many times ... its great ... also check all airlines for flights both ways as you can find that buying two singles from different airlines can work..
