FR
Irish steve,
It sounds like your experiences with FR are flawed by DUB airport. Its honestly seems like its DUB thats giving you the stress, but because the particular section of the airport is FR dominated, u are associating it with FR.
If i had a penny (excuse the pun really for this circumstance) for every time i walked into Dunnes, Tesco, Aldi, Supervalu, even my local butchers, and was told ""ive no change"" and have had to walk away....Rest assured, i could buy FR!
in the circumstance, merely agree with the crew that you will pay for your item now, and you would be most obliged if they could bring you your change when it is available (when some other pax coughs up a load of 10c coins he has from the pub the night before!). Ive done this on FR, BA Connect, BMI, EI etc a million and one times, and theres never a problem. Change is always returned post haste too.
