Malta and Euros

[Barmaid]

Mr BM is off on a boys' week. He obviously needs to buy currency. What is best? To buy from the bank? Post Office? Airport? We normally only ever holiday in Scotland so we don't normally encounter such issues!

I think airport would be the dearest of the options.

If you are only exchanging £1000 or so then it really doesn't matter......go for the most convenient..........

Travelex aren`t bad. Don`t buy from their desk though. You get a better rate if you order it online and collect from the Travelex desk at the airport. That`s what I did on my last holiday. You can pay it back to the Travelex desk on arrival back in the UK.

You can also use ATMs to get money, or pay with credit cards.

M&S or Sainsburys - stay clear of the banks. I am sure he will have a card for emergency purposes in Malta.......they should accept Visa.
