Hi!

Flying to Germany next week, want to spend some money in duty free (£150)

Have checked Moneysavingexpert for best rate and decided to go with TravelEx.

Now i have a dimelma. Am i better off getting cash - or a cash passport? I wont be spending money outside of the airport (everything else has been paid for)

I tried to pay at Frankfurt airport with my bank card last year but they didnt except it so had to run to an ATM.

So . . . does Frankfurt airport accept a cash passport

And

Which would i be better off with? cash or cash passport (should say - only in germany for 2 days and wont be going back out of UK until next summer at least after this trip)

Thanks!

    There's no 'Duty free', you're staying within Europe and tax/duty will be paid. Airports are an expensive place to buy anything, even more expensive if you change money to do so.

    ty for the reply - i've checked and it works out a bit cheaper for the things i want to buy (taking into account current exchange rate)

    So kinda MSE :)
