Had to check first because I was sure I heard earlier on Sky but BA Pilots have never striked before in history..... I'm somewhat bemused with that as well https://www.ft.com/content/b97ac568-d226-11e9-a0bd-ab8ec6435630

Not been up there for a while.....interbank

Just use any app or google to get live Interbank than knock 20 Satang off if you're a Brit but remember rates move so thats only applicable in comparison to interbank when that update goes live on screen. You can do the same process for Euro AUD etc etc by noting the Interbank rate on a live update and seeing the spread. I'd guess at those two without checking around 17 Satang less for Euro and 11 Satang less for AUD users By knowing the spread all you need to know at any time is Interbank rates to work it out

......and up now to 37.68 Worth actually recalling up to a few months ago Sterling/Dollar was bouncing around $1.32 before talk of no deal became a real possibilty.

As long as this has no connection to Flowers crew will make this a first port of call next trip

Interbank continues to rise on the back of last nights commons business and no surprise 37.46 at time of post

Well its quite likely that if officially and legally "no deal" is taken off the table (and thats seems highly probable now) I would be very surprised if Sterling/Dollar doesnt rise another 2 cents and probably Sterling/Baht another 60-70 satang off the back of it

Theres the rise in Interbank up 50 Satang from yesterday that I anticipated with no deal on the verge of being removed from the table (edited...it had dropped to 36.67)

The rerun of the Referendum too me seems sensible......

Little bit of a reversal currently Sterling/Euro and Sterling/Dollar following what I suggested yesterday. Boris is going to lose control of the house this afternoon thats pretty clear and his second option to call a GE relies on him getting 2/3rds of MPs votes....at the moment he doesnt have it No deal quite "possibly" is coming off the table for good and if if does Sterling will react northwards and pretty quickly

....and this is not TT or other tourist rates but full interbank

How many GGB's used this for their Lezzer shows......

Yes I agree you need to know your airlines and seat pitch of any you're contemplating

Its always going to be personal choice I think. For myself who likes flying and suffers no real jet lag or aches and pains I'd always choose economy. I could easily afford PE but just couldnt really justify it even at £400 more. You're only landing 10 metres in front of all the riff raff behind ?? Fair play to those who want to pay or for Biz

Am not sure whats occuring in this locked down weekend period. Dollar/Baht and Sterling/Baht is wildly fluctuating up and down and it shouldnt be moving at all on Interbank Have just seen Sterling at 37.40 which is wildly wrong and then some so fill your boots lol

Certainly but that works both ways. The underlying grey markets might substantionally move up within a weekend period (imagine for example a brexit deal announced over a weekend) but equally likely and in fact even more so some negative news over the weekend will spike Sterling/Dollar (for example) sharply lower on open .If they've been exchanging money all weekend at 50 satang higher than interbank opens on Monday morning you can see the problem but obviously works both ways You can always see where TT is in relation to Interbank because on "live" updates that we see on most of the window shots Sterling will be around 21 Satang lower (ish). Bear in mind though markets can move quickly in the interim so only a guideline On that basis Interbank closed at 37.31 last night (Baht gained a LOT of strength against Dollar late yesterday) so on a weekday you'd expect it around 37.10 at TT exchanges....need to have someone on the ground to show rates today to see how it fairs in comparison. We have seen some pretty big errors recently from TT on weekends where they have had it higher than interbank though Dollar/Baht ended week at 30.40 interbank a savage increase in value for the Baht unfortunately

Yep fair enough.

Where the hell did they get that Sterling rate from.....even though Sterlings edged back it should be at least 37.55 at time of post....They are making a huge bundle if people are actually changing up

Blokes absolutely full of shit.....did you see him alongside the immaculate Macron this lunchtime. Dressed and looking like a tramp simply beyond embarassing

Not sure why (yet) but Sterling has shot up against the Dollar today...Interbank currently 37.81

Boris wont have an opportunity to deliver Brexit in the first place. He's history on or around 3rd September thats utterly clear in a no confidence vote that Corbyn is laying at first opportunity. 34 Tories have already indicated they'll vote against their own party to avoid a disastrous no deal outcome.... In my opinion Ken Clarke would be a good temporary leader of the house whilst the GE is called but protocol says leader of the opposition gets the gig should votes stack up.

Only my opinion but its clear to me Boris is just paying lip service to Merkel yesterday and Macron later today purely to claim at a later date the EU sabotaged his efforts to leave with a deal. The blokes an utter clown and the likes of Merkel/Macron know it only to well Couple weeks and he's history on the day parliament returns from recess

Oman are using 787 on both sectors from Heathrow which are shit on seat pitch but I think one of the Manchester sectors (the first) is on their much more spacious 330s. They're also packed every flight these days being the cheapest of the ME carriers 95% of the time

Yep any weakening of the Baht against the Dollar is great news for all other currencies Just looking at the moment Sterling well up against the Euro as well as the USD

Yes up again today as well. Sterling rising against the Dollar for now the reason. Almost certainly (in fact 99%) because Tories now coming out and openly saying they'll vote against their own party to get rid of a no deal exit in a confidence vote.....if that chatter rises Sterling will continue north
