Hello everyone...

...only 14 days to go...

Flying out to Florida on 19th February (as you all know by now) and I really need to sort my currency out soon.

I was wondering if anyone could explain how Travelex works? Would I be correct in believing that you order online and can only collect at an outlet (airport, etc.)? They don't deliver? Can anyone recommend them? Or should I use someone like currencyexpress? These two seem to offer much better rates than the likes of the Post Office, etc.

If I use Travelex is the booth at Manchester airport easy to find? Is it open 24 hours?

Any advice greatly appreciated (as always).

Paul.

I've found that travelex (http://www.travelex.co.uk/personal/ratetracker.asp?content=trk) on-line give the best rate, you can pick the cheques up at any airport at anytime not necessarily when you flying. You just order on line with a credit or debit card and name the airport and date that you would like to collect them. I've used them and been very happy. Marks and Spencer (http://www.fxcorporation.co.uk/marksandspencer/)also offer good rates.

Noooooooo!!! That's a very dangerous mindset to try to get me into just before I go on a holiday like this! It could ruin me! :twocents: is all I'll have left when I return if you have your way! :rotfl:

Hi
Yes these can be ordered upto 60days in advance, just remember you can pick them up anytime providing it is landside departures and not Air side otherwise you will have a problem.
