Assuming that your bank account is in Sterling Pounds then when the Euro debit is charged back to your account there will usually be a "commission" charge aside from the exchange rate transfer. I've always seen this on my RBS account, can't speak for every bank account. Is it this "commission" charge that you're hoping to avoid ? If so then it's likely that only your bank can answer that for you. EasyJet and other sites will simply pass the charge thru in Euros and it's up to the banking system as to how you are charged in Pounds.

I've just had a 3 night stay at the Protur Vista Badia in Sa Coma. Was about to book it when my wife found the same hotel on Low Cost Holidays.com saving 100 euro.
