Ryanair Help Please

Hello Ryanair Fans,

I am wanting to book flights that originate in Portugal and the cost is coming up in Euros, I feel sure that I have read somewhere on this forum that if you want to pay in Sterling there is a way. I have searched the Ryanair website and I'm darned if I can see the way to change it so that I am paying in Sterling without Ryanair's dynamic conversion rate - can anyone help please?

    I do not think there is a way to pay in pounds if the flight originates from outside the UK

    However there is a way of avoiding dynamic conversion rate - you need to click the link on the payment page to say that you do not want it.

    You would need to buy a flight originating in the UK first. This was easy when you could get flights for 1p and 99p etc as you could just discard the flight , but now its pretty rare to find anything under £10/£20

    Have a search around here as there is a method. It involves opening a window with a flight in Sterling, then one with a flight in Euros, before closing the Sterling one. Sorry I can't be more specific but it is referred to on here in a couple of posts.
