Can you show concrete example ?

Is the POS is the same for USD and EUR ?

The exchange rate used by airlines is usually a set rate by/with their payment provider (or themselves if they owe one) in order to recover the fees and minimize potential losses due to forex market rates

If you have the voucher in USD you can only use it on a LOT POS which has USD as legal currency
