Can't change flight to a departure point with another currency
I have a KM booking from BRU to MLA paid in EUR. I just tried to change it to LHR to MLA and was told it is not possible because the new ticket would have to be in GBP and they can't change the currency of the booking.
There are no restrictions on the ticket. I can change to any other airport I like (subject to a fee plus difference in fare) as long as it's in the Eurozone! This sounds absolutely absurd to me. I asked him what would happen if I had a GBP ticket from LHR and he confirmed I would not be able to transfer it outside UK.
I've never heard of any other airline doing this. I'm pretty sure Easyjet don't. That's the only other airline I have regular experience of changing bookings for. Is this normal?
