This is the correct answer, and always pay your bills in the local currency without conversion.

Put your money on a revolut or Monzo card and withdraw it from an ATM in local currency at the destination airport.
Neither of those places usually accept sterling. If you absolutely must take cash with you, get it changed over here. Travelex online have decent rates and you can pick it up in the airport on the way.
Why? And it’s a cash card as well

Absolute nonesense. I was using my Monzo card in Abu Dhabi to buy a bar of chocolat for less than a quid.Following your logic it would be six quid for a Snickers. I am going to Dubai on Friday and all purchases will be made with Monzo.
You’ll get good rates from the currency shops in Hong Kong if you’re changing a decent wedge.
Monzo is the correct answer.
Got a Post office MasterCard , just use as normal in local currency, you end up paying the bank rate on the day rather than the commission conversion rate .
Just bang everything on it , apart from a few bob for taxis , saying that in Dubai last week Uber taxis have set up there as well.
Saved a few bob over the years with that.
Post Office MC is backed by one of the Irish banks .

Nah, Revolut is.
The rate isn’t as good as Revolut
Don't both use the Mastercard exchange rate?
