Dont worry just take sterling and change when you get there you will get a better rate.

Yes, that is the advice I have had on here but also that it is a good idea to change a small amount before you go to cover the first day. Any ideas anyone? Apparently only dollars and euros have made it as far north as Newcastle.

Sorted - if anyone is interested just call Manchester airport on 0161 489 3000 and ask to be put through to the foreign currency exchange.

It really isn't that drastic it is easy to change them when you get there and the rate is better even at the airport when you arrive. From my experience of british airport change places is not good the rates are always terrible and unless you change over £250 they charge you about £25. If you gonna get ripped off like that wait till you get to BG. Trust me you get lots of chances to do it before you need any money. All the hotels have 24 hour change and you certainly wont need any till you ...

Go to the departures area if you are flying to Sofia they have better exchange rates than the arrivals area. There is also an ATM there.
