✈️ Holiday money: best-value destinations now livewhere your pound goes furthest
What £1 and £100 buy today,
against a year ago and against history, allowing for both the exchange rate and price rises
in each destination, so you can see where your money goes further… or not.
Bureau de Changerates loading…
The board is loading…
iThese are the wholesale rates banks trade at. A bureau de change or travel card
will give you fewer units, and that gap is its margin, so compare what you are actually offered
against the £100 column. The verdict says how today compares with the past and with the other
currencies. It is not a forecast: nobody knows where a rate goes next.
🛂 FCDO travel warnings: where Britain says not to go livegov.uk, read daily
The Foreign, Commonwealth &
Development Office's advice for every country: where it advises against travel, where only parts
are affected, and what changed most recently — in the FCDO's own words, each linked to gov.uk.
The advice is loading…
iIf the FCDO advises against travel somewhere and you go anyway, most travel
insurance will not cover you, and your tour operator may let you cancel or rebook for free. The
advice can change the day before you fly, so check the gov.uk page itself before you book and
again before you leave.
🏷️ Flight deals: fares that just dropped livefrom UK airports
Fares from UK airports that have
dropped in the last few days. Prices change quickly: the link opens a search for your own airport
and these dates, so you see today's fare before you rely on it.
Looking for fares…
iA fare that has just dropped is not necessarily the cheapest it will be. If the
dates suit you, check it from your own airport while it lasts; a fare that has fallen once often
falls again, but it also sells out.
