Ryan Air: 2 x £12.99 = £25.99??

Contact your credit/debit card issuer and open a claim for a disputed transaction.

I would pay you the penny myself if I could see the face of the agent when they first read the claim details.

Cheap shot trying to get a laugh.

I thought I’d check this at the end of the day, some people being constructive thanks.

Sad keyboard warriors have bullied away with their sad, witless or nasty comments. I’m sure it helped them with their anger today.

The point I was making is that when it is done 100million times a year (Ryan Air carries more than this) then they are making over £1m by such a sharp practice. So many sad people just wanted to attack the 1p margin. You think I don’t appreciate that a single air fare if £12.99 is fantastic value?

I made a big mistake today posting on here, some tried to help, others - well, you are very sad people. Wake up tomorrow and continue your self serving carousel.

I’m out.

Ryan Airs answer would be very simple: 12.99 was actually 12.993 rounded to nearest penny.
12.993 x 2 = 25.986. Let's round it up!

You've had several replies that show your 'sharp practice' theory may be wrong.
Yet you persist with it.

Ryanair won't discuss it with you anymore.

You've either not convinced anyone on this thread that you're right or you've not convinced anyone that the rounding up is significant enough to get all hot and bothered about.

Where do you go from here?

If you'd had a series of "yeah that happened to me too" messages then there might be something in the big numbers you're throwing around.

As it is, nobody here has reported the same thing. My experience with them has always been accurate fare wise.

You've not given any consideration that at another exchange rate (if that is the cause) a flyer could potentially save a whole penny.

What if that happens to fifty million customers? Ryanair lose £500k.

My guess is that it's an occasional happening that works both ways and nets Ryanair no profit.

Storm in a teacup over a penny!

On a similar theme.

Yesterday, I stopped off for fuel for my car and the local Shell garage had unleaded advertised for £114.9p per litre.

I put in 20 litres which should have come to £2299.8p but they had the cheek to charge me £30.
I tried to get them to either give me 0.2p in change or to allow me to take an equivalent amount of fuel but they just laughed.

Shell must be serving 10s of millions of customers each year so these fractions of a penny will soon add up to a nice tidy sum.

If it should have been £22.98, and they charged you £30, then i'd have been looking for more than a fraction of a penny back!
