Travelex
Hi guys and gals
I am sure here is a travelex shop in T5 inbetween First and Concorde Room, just by the Elemis Spa, can you please just clarify that I am right in thinking this

Just opposite Hermes, but tbh I was put off by their larcenous 4.99 collection fee for amounts under 300 value.
I got exactly the same rate on the High Street for the Turkish Lire I needed and all it cost me was a bit of shoe leather...

Thanks, albeit a bit confused as Tdgraves answered yes to my question when i said that I thought it was within the First and Concorde complex.

Amongst all this discussion on Travelex rates it's probably worth plugging their "Price Promise" again. I've used this on 100% of my pre-orders against Thomas Exchange Global's online rates.

It's still not as competitive as a mid-market rate FX card, but for those that need cash immediately it's worth bearing in mind.

You may well have found a better rate at a Doviz in Turkey, (especially with a bit of haggling) but not the airport ones which have really bad rates.

Well that depends... you wouldn't dream of drawing $100 cash out in Vegas - you'll get stuff with a $10 withdrawal fee, plus most likely two other fees. Will cost you near 100 !
