Holidaymakers flying abroad over Easter are being offered as little as 0.78 euros per £1 at airports.
With as many as two million people expected to jet off this weekend, currency firms were last night accused of cashing in on the Bank Holiday rush by offering the worst exchange rates on record.
An investigation by online currency provider FairFX has revealed airport bureau de change are paying an average rate of less than one euro per pound – or 0.98 euros – to those who buy their currency at the desk.
This is already 16 per cent less than the official market exchange rate of 1.156 euros per pound.
