Ryanair Flyers Miss Out on Cheaper Flights Due to Simple Currency Trick

Ryanair flyers might be missing out on cheaper flights due to a simple trick at checkout. Martin Lewis' MoneySavingExpert team claim that paying in the 'right' currency can make a big difference, especially for pricier flights.

The key is to treat your return trip like two separate one-ways instead of one neat return booking. This allows you to spot when the return leg shows up priced in the currency of the country you're flying home from. Sometimes this conversion is cheaper than Ryanair's pound price, and it's worth a quick comparison before you hit pay.

MSE found that Euros can be the sweet spot for savings, while some other currencies like Hungarian Forint can actually make your flight more expensive. Their examples show:

In Warsaw to London flights, paying in Polish złoty could save you £1.05 per ticket (3.72% cheaper). On Ibiza to London flights, paying in Euros could save you £4.96 per ticket (6.1% cheaper).
