Airport mark-up more than 25%
This was the headline in the Express the today. It talks about something we’ve said time and time again that you should:
- Always compare rates before you buy
- Always buy in advance and never leave it until you get to the airport
- Always plan ahead and if you know you will need currency buy sooner rather than later
The Express investigation found that the rates varied significantly between airports; the mark-up was sometimes greater than 25% and that finally the most shocking part that MoneyCorp at Southampton airport was offering £1/US$1 – compared with the best online rates at the time of $1.24.
