Jet2 €uro payment

J_B

We need to book a one way flight from a European airport to UK.
The Jet2 website quotes us €320, but when I ask to pay in sterling, it drops the price to £310 :mad:

I could pay with my Nationwide Gold Visa (which has a decent exchange rate and no fees) in Euros, but the last time I tried this (think it was with Ryanair perhaps) they decided to do their own 'generous' exchange rate.
When I queried it, R/A said that their T&C said that they took the payment in the currency of the card issuer

Would Jet2 charge me in Euros or convert it to Sterling, does anyone know???

If I wanted to pay in sterling, they wanted £333.55
Here's the copy of my Credit card statement ....

For info, Ryanair now give you an obvious choice between Euros and Sterling instead of the tiny tick-box they used to have.
