When exchanging money at an airport, is there a fee?
From US dollars to Euros
There's a fee alright.
They take a certain percentage depending on how much you exchange.
A large fee which is why they suggest you do not exchange at airports
There's pretty much a fee wherever you change money, at airports that fee is usually higher, if you can change your money at say a travel agency in a town centre, there will still be a feee but probably a better rate than at the airport.
I wouldn't exchange money at airports if i were you, you'd get better exchange rates elsewhere
No, the people working in the exchanges don't need to earn a living.
The airport is the worst place to get money because of fees and lousy exchange rates. I get $100 or so converted here first, then get money out of ATMs when I'm in Europe, Japan, wherever. If you are in a large city, it's easy to find a bank who will get you Euros here. If you live in the boonies like I do, you have to go to AAA, and the rate sucks. I just don't like going to another country without any local currency.
Yes. There's a fee. The fees are generally higher at the airport.
Check with your bank first and get what you think you might need.
Also, even using an atm is lilely to yield a better exchange rate than the places at the airport
Yes, generally there's a % rate for commission at airport bureau de change, better to change at your local bank before leaving, check you have a card to draw cash from ATMs in Europe, visa and MasterCard are widely accepted. Do bare in mind ATMs can charge a fee too, but it's normally fixed, at around 1.5-2.5 euros per withdrawal
In my experience changing currencies at the airport is more expensive, you get a worse exchange rate and higher commission fees than you would with banks, travel agents etc.
- How much money they will cut for refund fee? Or they will give me full money? Turkish airlines refused my tickets. I wanted to go Brazil to meet my wife from Dhaka Bangladesh. It was one way ticket.
- Should I sue an airline for the money for destroying my laptop? Qatar Airways security prior to boarding (inside Hammad International Airport) waved the metal detector wand directly over my laptop after asking me to take it out of the case. My bare laptop was then opened and had the metal detector wand scan each surface of it. I trusted them since they knew more than me about what and how they needed to search but after the security my laptop was not functional at all, yet it was perfectly fine before this happened. What should I do?
- When are you supposed to declare money at the airport, when it reaches the maximum limit or exceeds it? When flying to China, the maximum amount of cash you're allowed to go through customs with is "cash equivalent to US$5,000 or above". Does that mean I have to declare $5,000 or only when it exceeds it?
- How much money would we need (my girlfriend and I) as a foreign tourist to stay a week in Baguio city, near burnham park? Please exclude flight costs and bus fare into Baguio from the Manilla airport. Just lodging, food, and in city transportation.
