A great article published by Citywire today discussed why people should avoid airports like the plague when changing their holiday money.

Our chief executive Stephen Heath said: "Already hard-up Brits are being fleeced when it comes to getting their foreign cash from the airport. Holidaymakers flying from Liverpool, Leeds, City, Bristol or Birmingham airports could be paying well over the odds for their spending money as these airports are the most expensive UK departure points for buying foreign currency at the moment.

Talking about how much consumers could save he said: "They would be able to get seven to 11 per cent more for their pound using a FairFX.com card compared with waiting and buying their foreign cash at the airport."
