Heathrow Flies Below Parity On Euro
Travellers flying from Heathrow could find buying their holiday money comes at a hefty price tag. New analysis from FairFX.com reveals anyone buying foreign currency from Heathrow Airport will get less than parity at just €0.9831 to £1.
Stephen Heath, Chief Executive of FairFX.com, said: “Following last week’s base rate cut and the introduction of quantitative easing, the Pound is being traded at just €1.0831 to £1. However, Brits buying their holiday spending money from Heathrow Airport will get even less bang for their buck, just €0.9831 to £1.
“Airport travel money bureaus have long taken advantage of travellers who leave buying their holiday cash until they reach the airport by offering far worse rates than outside the terminal. And now Heathrow Airport has become the biggest airport out of many to offer below parity.”
Currently, you can still get €1.0725 to £1 with the FairFX.com currency card, 7% above the average airport rate, and 9% better than Heathrow Airport.
