...holiday firms have not already costed BREXIT into their prices already.

Their prices are fluid and have nowt to do with actual costs.

Oh well, if you voted out and booked a holiday you shouldn't moan about potentially paying extra.

Never booked a package in my life and never intend to.

What would you rather? It's an event that will almost certainly have currency rates implications, and MSE is pointing out that if that happens then you could pay more, and there's little you can do about it.

Not a lot of good reporting on it afterwards if it happens, but this could save people some money, which is the point of this site- not "journalism", but information to help people make financial decisions.

People being informed about the risks, even if they decide to take them anyway, is a good thing.
Say that a package comes up that's near identical, I'd rather take it from a company who says that they won't put up the price than one who says "maybe".
You might instead decide that you'd rather go with a company that isn't guaranteeing on surcharges because you overall prefer the provider and you don't think the risk is that great. That's a valid response too, but the important thing is that we both made an informed choice.

Which I've just done - we're going away a few days after the supposed Brexit date, normally such things wouldn't bother me but may as well play safe if there's no or minimal cost difference.

So I appreciate the article, but as usual it gets the predicatable knee jerk reaction from those who want to stick their fingers in their ear and repetitively chant "it's all Project Fear, it's all Project Fear..." on any Brexit related thread.
