Reducing price of EasyJet Flights?

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.

That's what I thought, but when I tested the trick you posted it was significantly cheaper to pay in € than in £. I only tried it once so I don't know if that was the norm though.

But if they did use the actual conversion rate, what would be the point in adding that unwanted flight to force it to price in Euros?

There are 2 euro prices for the same flight to or from Euro countries. The higher is the gbp conversion price on the EN website, the lower price is on the non EN website.
So if I want to go to Italy I use the IT website for their Euro prices.

Definately worked. Sliced just over 10% off 2 randomly picked flights.
Scottish high season.
JULY 2 to JULY 9 Glasgow to Faro.
UK price £519
Euro price €642. (aprox £465)

I'm not sure this trick works anymore. Just tried going to www.easyjet.fr, chose a single flight CDG->BRS then added a return flight LTN->CDG. It all priced in euros and the return flight was around 70 euros. When I removed the initial flight, the return flight repriced to nearly 90 euros which was more than on the UK site :-(

Runningman, did you clear cookies from your browser? You've then got to do CDG-BRS-CDG add to the basket, then delete the sector you don't want then add CDG-LTN-CDG to the basket and then delete the sector you don't want.
