here (relating to currency conversion during a refund) and not the OP of this thread (the missing 25%).
That person lost £100. Assuming that the ticket cost was £2500 and the currency conversion fee was 2% (per direction), then you'd lose £100 on average from the currency conversion fee. So £100 could definitely be lost from currency changes alone if you bought long-haul business class or first tickets. You'd not lose that much if you bought cheap short-haul economy tickets. Something to keep in mind when paying in a foreign currency.
