New Orleans runs on music, food and atmosphere, and a stock of cash keeps the good times rolling. Buying US dollars before you fly from a commission-free provider such as Travel FX lets you buy US dollars at a clear rate ahead of departure.
Street performers, tips, smaller bars, markets and food stalls are often easier with cash. Small notes are handy for tipping, which is part of the culture here.
Airport exchange on arrival is convenient but rarely the best value. Buying your dollars at home in advance leaves you better off.
Travel FX has traded for more than 18 years, offers over 60 currencies and holds a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews, with online ordering and delivery or collection.
Sort the dollars early and let the city set the pace.
