My point is will Brexit make a difference to most [people going on holiday when they only change about £1000 to $2000 but in most cases £20 is a fair amount to lose or gain.
Your Spanish visa will cost more than that soon [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Your £20 is 1-2% of the amount your talking about.....hardly worth the effort of shopping around
I would say, though, that @PPF's Gatwick suggestion will guarantee you the worst rate anywhere.

Disagree, when you spend a £1000 + on a holiday, £20 is sod all.
It really isn't worth the keystrokes or shoe leather.

I use moneycorp at Gatwick. So long as you pre order the rate is pretty much the same as anywhere on the high st.
Yep - they make all their money from people who don't pre-order........

Thats what I was thinking - if you are taking £1k in cash on holiday then your holiday must have cost a fair bit.
For me I take a little bit of cash like £1-200 which is just pocket money and spend the rest on card, overall you will not lose much and in relation to the whole holiday its not worth worrying about

To be fair the last Dubia trip was only just over £1200 each but did take the same for spends.

Not guilty we go past ASDA at Hollingbury at least once a week so fill up whenever we do and use less than a tank a week. If I can save or earn £10 just by timing the changing of our money, which we will need either way, I will do so.
If people are so worried about saving £20 they are prepared to mither on for 3 months over an impossible to answer question.
You've got to wonder where the £1000+ spending money came from.

Anyone that could tell you which way it will go next would earn billions predicting the market.
I think it's unlikely to be dropping below 1€ to the pound, but no guarantees.
I'd just wait until nearer the time. Make sure you search for the best rate online a bit before you travel, as each exchange charge different rates.

Just got back from Spain and used Revolut card for all spending. Dad couldn't believe how much better the rate was than he got.
It is free, you get an app to top up the card, you then get commission free money anywhere. You get a notification saying what you spent seconds after you use the card. It includes the local spend and the amount it cost you in sterling.
App also lets you change your pin and block card instantly should you lose it.

I was getting a better rate out of the cashpoint in Spain last week even allowing for the small currency charge.
