Just book at http://www.easyjet.com/es in Euros

How do you get it to show in euros? My screen displays in £. The rest is in Spanish but I'm so used to the layout of the site I can navigate no problem. Cheers.

You can't manipulate prices if that's what you're asking. Deleting cookies and connecting from other computers isn't going to make a difference. Buy when you are offered a price you are happy with, it's as simple as that.

Some have presented circumstantial evidence that what type of machine you are on, if you are a new or returning visitor etc can all be monitored by a website owner (which is true) and that some are using this to impact prices (which is speculation). Some claimed simply that if you were on a up to date Mac the default was to rank things on rating (ie generally more expensive first) but if you were on an old Windows machine then results were ranked on prices (ie least expensive first)

I remember TS or the OFT was going to launch an investigation into it but dont recall ever seeing the output of it.

It doesn't look like you can, it prices based on your departure country not the website country. If you search for TFS-BRS on the UK website it prices in Euros.

I know on Ryanair they often charge the same amount in both Euros and Pounds, making it beneficial to book the return separately and pay that in Euros (e.g. book a return and it might charge you £50 for the return leg, whereas if you booked it separately it would be €50). I don't know if Easyjet does the same?

Add a flight originating from a Euro-zone country, then add the flight you want from the UK and remove the Euro-zone flight. Prices will stay in Euros.

You can even pay for them in US$ and they don't fly there.

In my experience the best way to get a low price on EZY BRS-TFS is to be flexible with your dates.

We often end up going for 11, 12 or 16 nights because it can be a lot cheaper

I can't remember prices going down, but they have often gone up

I have been flexible!

It'll be a case of going for 11 days as it is. Only issue (other than Annual Leave from work) is that if I go for longer, the hotel costs more and the need for more spending money increases

And one other issue, I will be even less willing to come back! :beer:

:rotfl: not yet anyway!

I saw they added (a fair while back) a new route to Santiago - there was me thinking "wow! Chile! I've always wanted to go there!" then seeing the prices and the words of The Real Hustle guys of "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!" came into my head.

It was Santiago in Spain........

My F in GCSE History wasn't incorrectly marked was it?!

Is this the process?
So you start with ANY flight from € zone.?
That changes currency charged to €.?
Then do your normal RTN booking that u want. That is also charged €?.
As with Ryanair € =£ ?
Then remove 1st flight?

You *add* the flights you want to the basket but you don't complete the booking.

I believe easyJet uses the actual conversion rate between euro's and GPB (or close to it anyway) so it's not like Ryanair where it's converted 1:1.
