Converted at the European Central Bank's reference rate for 18 August 2026: €1 = £0.8558, CHF 1 = £0.9099. Reference rates, not the rate anyone actually gets. A card payment abroad costs the interbank rate plus the issuer's own margin, so treat every converted figure as the floor. Rates move daily; this one is the ECB's published rate for 2026-08-18.
The transfer figure is the operator's published return fare. Flights, accommodation, food and equipment are not included — nothing publishes those in a form worth comparing, and a made-up average would swamp the two figures that are real.
