Ryanair menu. Flew from East Mids, forced to pay in Euros. Abysmal Nationwide exchange rate

I think the OP would be more peeved if they had paid in GBP that rate is normally worse.

Look, the OP has flown Ryanair, don't you think they've suffered enough?

Ryanair also probably make money out of it because no doubt they also do DCC to make a margin on the exchange rate!

Its an Irish airline, who list all prices in Euros, charge in Euros and nothing else, and dont offer DCC on its very basic on-flight terminals, so you are well off the mark here.

Since when? I was on a Ryanair flight in March to Italy and they definitely offered the option of paying in GBP, and on several previous ones. I declined of course and paid in EUR as it was better value. Not sure how the OP ended up getting charged what they did even with a card that marks up the exchange rate, it's only 3% or so. 

Ive travelled Ryanair a number of times since Covid and not once has any alternative currency been offered to me, either verbally or on the weird looking machines they use. Maybe it depends on where the base of the plane/crew is.

Not that this is an issue in the slightest to me though, given I use a sensible card to transact foreign currencies in.

With United Airlines, you need to pre-register your card details on the app/site - they won't accept card payments physcially on the flight itself.
