Ryanair appears to be losing its focus. The travel website
360travelguide.com found a way to get money for nothing out of the stingy no-frills carrier.
Ryanair’s weakness, the site explains, is its on-board pricing structure: a cup of coffee, for example, costs €3 or £3, and passengers can ask for their change in either currency.
The trick, therefore, is to pay for your coffee with a €50 note and ask for your change in sterling.
Instead of getting back €47 — worth less than £42 — you receive £47, making a profit of £5 and cancelling out the online check-in fee. The airline was unavailable for comment.
