DCC is very obvious on the new site and very easy to opt out.


To give an idea of the markup, my card was charged £12.10 for this PLN69.30 transaction. Ryanair's rate was £12.80.

For those without fee free cards, wishing to take advance of the "Ryanair journeys originating in the UK but return flight cheaper to book as a single in the destination currency" issue, this could be worth opting into as some UK cards charge a fixed fee plus a percentage.
Yes, UK debit card FTFs are insane. My Lloyd's one is £1 + 3%. On a £20 transaction (say, a meal for two at a decent restaurant) that's a shocking 8%! DCC is the better deal, actually.
