Well after reading lots of posts about Ryanair scamming people over the years (as well as them providing people with affordable air travel) Here's a quick suggestion on how to make a small profit from Ryanair!
No, the universe hasn’t been turned upside down - there really is a way for you to make cash out of Ryanair right now.
We picked up this hot hustle from Travolution this afternoon, though we’ll eat a hat of your choosing if Sky Marshall O’Leary hasn’t sorted the loophole before you step foot on his aircraft again. If goes like this:
Ryanair is currently charging the same prices whether in Euro or British Pounds for its in-flight beverages. Nothing wrong with that - the two currencies have hovered close to another for a while now.
However, cabin crew will also give the change back in any currency - if you ask.
So, for example, buy a £3/€3 coffee and then pay for it with a €50 note. Then request that the change of €47 in British Sterling.
£47 currently converts to around €54 - so that’s a free coffee AND 4 Euro in your pocket.
There’s bound to be a member of the cabin crew that didn’t get the memo, so give us a try and let us know how it works out!

Are you being sarcastic? Hardly going to kill them. Its about getting a good exchange rate for your money. If FR are not up to date then their problem.
Some supermarkets around the border area of Ireland offer good rates if you buy things in their stores. I often buy an item worth £5-£10 and give them a €50 note and get change back in ££ at a rate around 8% better than the banks.

No objections from me...as much as they charge for everything...I'd take what I could get from them.

well, the new magazines were rolled out across the entire fleet yesterday, we now use an exchange rate of 0.90 for sterling. Sterling prices are now completely different to euro prices.

They could introduce another fee - e.g. a currency conversion fee if you pay in EUR and ask for GBP change (and vice versa). Thinking about, they should introduce, let's say, the Fiji-Dollar as their onboard currency and exchange Fiji-Dollars for EUR or GBP, charging a conversion fee and offering a poor exchange rate. Note to self: Must fire off an email to Mick later today.

Nice! Have you ever considered a career in airline management?
