Ryanair - how to change billing currency
 
Hi - A question for any U.K Ryanair regulars out there.

I'm trying to book return flights (Rome-Stansted-Rome) on behalf of Italian friends.

The price comes up in € of course - but I want to pay in £ sterling from my U.K account.

Is there a way to change the billing from Euro to Sterling on the Ryanair website?
I can't find that option :(

Thanks in advance for any help ...

Steve

I believe, from what I've read from other posts, Ryanair does dynamic currency conversion. So just proceed with the transaction, and Ryanair will automatically change the price to pounds when it hits your credit card.

But even if Ryanair did not, your credit or debit card would do the exchange transaction automatically (and most likely at a more favorable rate than Ryanair does).

You can't.

I don't understand the problem. I'm from the States - I buy things in £ all the time - but the purchases are charged in $ to my credit card.

Same would apply w/ £ / €. The fares are listed in € but you will still pay £.
