    santander lloyds or BOS. 6.5% if you do what ?

    I don't understand the confusion - you do know what an exchange rate is?

    Ryanair will add a 6.5% fee on top of the exchange rate (i.e. the conversion from euros to pounds). Your bank will probably add less.

    Hi

    I am looking to book some one way flights form Alicante to Glasgow Preswick with Ryanair.

    I was wondering what charges will be made by the bank/credit card company and what exchange rate is used ?

    The flights I am looking at are 49.99 euros plus the 6euro per person charge .

    I can pay with electron visa debit ,or credit card, the credit doesnt have anything special regarding spending in different currencies.

    Any advice much appreciated.:D

    Pay using a euro FairFX card and don't pay any Ryanair charges. FairFX charge about 1.5% on the transaction. The card is free and gives a good exchange rate.

    The countries where the Ryanair card is available are

    United Kingdom
    Ireland
    Italy
    Germany
    Spain

    So I GUESS that the pre-paid route is OK from all the others, I used one from France today.
