I'm on a flight from Bucharest. Back to LHR.

I read somewhere (tripadviser but it was from 5 or so years ago) that in the Duty Free shops at the airport OTP, you cannot use up the local currency, LEI, and have to exchange this into Euro at a ridiculous rather, before you can purchase anything.

Is this still the case?

Or can you now use Romanian Lei.

I thought someone must know, with this being a popular destination with TP runs etc

Thanks


(changed typo Budapest to Bucharest, and OTP... Well spotted Nancypants)
