In the past I haven't found changing money in Belfast particularly satisfying. Either the rates were bad compared with the online options or the very currency I was after wasn't in stock. Early for a flight one morning I decided to try my luck at the recently opened Money Exchange based just after check-in at Belfast International Airport.
It was a shiny new kiosk and despite the early hour they seemed to be in full swing. Yes, they did have Turkish Lira, yes, they had the amount I was after and yes, the rate was comparable to the online research I had done earlier.
The female staff serving were very helpful as I wasn't 100% what the Turkish currency was and the money was handed over in a crisp travel paper travel wallet.
Pros: Helpful and efficient.
Cons: Definitely worth checking online rates first if you have time. read more
