Paying for European flights in Euros with a Euro Travelex prepaid

Has anyone tried this?

Let's say I want to book an easyjet flight from Nice to Berlin. The flight will be priced in euros, and to avoid a card fee, I'd want to pay with Electron

Is it better to use a £ Travelex prepaid card, or buy an additional Euros prepaid card?

Thanks

    Use your electron card.

    The travelex prepaid cards incur hefty exchange fees (when you load them for euro cards or when you use them in euroland for £ cards) which will be at least as much as whatever your electron card charges.
