Ryan Air: 2 x £12.99 = £25.99??

snorters

I have been in communication with Ryan Air but they are insistent that £25.99 is correct......how can that be 2 fares?

I am unsure how to post a creenshot of their reply.

They have now said they are correct and the case is closed.

How much effort are you going to put into reclaiming 1p? How much is your time worth?

Ganga, as I said I'm new to the forums.
I can't make out why you would make such a nasty comment. Is this why you are on the forums?

Welcome to the Forum, but to get the best out of it a sense of humour helps!

No more effort here for sure.
I often look at MSE General site and find it useful.
Today I have discovered that there are supportive people on the forum, sadly also too many judgemental pontificating comments.
To those who tried to help, thank you for that.
To those who just wished to judge ..... enjoy banging away on your keyboards.

Thanks for comments.
New to forums, I get the point re currency but not rounding.

Its the same thing if there's a behind the scenes currency conversion.

It's just I have a screenshot which clearly says:

2 x £12.99 = £25.99.

This is clearly incorrect.

£12.994 x 2 = £25.988 which rounds to £25.99.

While I would agree that they should always price to two decimal points (or round down) it's not something to lose sleep over.

Perhaps another day you'll just book two singles and get £25.98.

Or they'll have an underlying price of £12.986 which shows as £12.99 but when applied twice is £25.972 and will price excitingly to £12.97.

To be fair this may be a money saving site but you're !!!!ing in the wind if you're bothered about 0.5p on a £12.99 flight to anywhere - you'll have used more power tying to sort this :rotfl:

The bar for finding things to complain about in here has reached a new low.

It's clearly set up for an OCD Disability Discrimination claim.

At 12.99 each to fly somewhere, I probably wouldn't mind them rounding up to 26 .. Seriously, reality check needed.

You actually wasted time and effort over 1p?
To put it another way. The difference between £25.98 and £25.99 is 0.038%.

If you had £10,000 invested and the interest that you received was too low by less than 4p, would you honestly be too worried?
