sorry, rolling stone, but that is not true in general and specifically not in my case, since the CU/ruble ratio is not fixed 1/1 and at the time of checkout a sign on the desk read: " one CU =31,5 rubles ".
31, 5 rubles at the same time was the equivalent of 1,16 US$; so you do the math .

small money or not, it is fraud and it is no way a "misunderstanding" as fly co was presuming. though i surely can live with a loss like that, i hate to be taken for a ride.
