Post-security cash at LPL T1: this is Travelex
Travelex in Terminal 1 at Liverpool John Lennon Airport sits airside after security, so you can sort money once you’re through the lines and know your real timing. It’s a standard Travelex counter, branded in blue and white, focused on currency exchange and basic travel money services, not a full general store.
Opening hours typically track the first and last departures out of T1, with shutters up from early morning through the evening on most days. If you’re on a very late-night or ultra-early flight, don’t assume it’s open; check your day’s hours on the airport site and have a backup plan like an ATM in the terminal.
Rates follow the usual airport pattern: less competitive than a city-centre branch or online order, but fine for topping up €50–€100 before a short break. Travelex handles major currencies such as EUR and USD at the counter, while more niche currencies might need a pre-order placed at least 24–48 hours before you fly from LPL.
Card services include buying currency by debit or credit card and sometimes Travelex’s own prepaid travel money card, which can hold multiple currencies at once. Fees and margins vary by card issuer; a typical UK credit card foreign cash advance can start around 3%, so read your card’s rules before pulling the trigger at the desk.
For a smooth stop: decide your target amount before reaching the counter and keep one card and your photo ID in an easy-access pocket so you’re done in under five minutes.
