Easier.com published an interesting article today asking whether or not summer holidays are a financial washout.

In it, our chief executive Stephen Heath said: "As the credit crunch continues to bite, and the cost of living spirals upwards, Brits have been forced to slash their holiday spending. Understandably, basic housekeeping costs are a bigger priority for families, but many people will be disappointed to have to cut back just when they could do with a little sun and relaxation.

"Holidaymakers could be paying as much as 11 per cent more for foreign currency if they leave it until they get to the airport compared to organising beforehand.

"Brits who need to stretch their holiday money as far as possible due to the high cost of living and continued credit squeeze should think about using a pre-paid currency card. For example, they would be able to get seven to 11 per cent more for their Pound using a FairFX.com card compared to waiting and buying their foreign cash at the airport."
