    i dont understand why people leave the currency to the airport?

    I order in advance and pick up from the airport before I travel as I only live five minutes away - would not leave it till just before my flight departs

    Because if you order online through travellex you get the best exchange rate and it's quite convienient to pick it up there too.

    I wouldn't say you get the best rate, it is better than buying directly from the airport, but there are options to get a better rate.
