Ryanair practices a version of ‘dynamic currency conversion’ (Getty )

Q On trips to Spain I often book flights with one airline going out and a different one coming home. I have a Halifax Clarity Mastercard which means that I don’t pay any transaction charges on foreign payments. Therefore I always want to pay in euros, not sterling. The problem I have is that when booking with Ryanair, I put in the card details and the fare immediately switches to sterling at what appears to be a poor rate, and I can’t find any button to put it back to euros. Can you guide me through the process?
