That's different then Rilo, is it cheaper to fly from there and do you book a package or private?

 Hi.we travel private,but dont have the same choice of air companys as in the UK. We have ryanair to Corfu.Then its jet air( thomsons) or thomas cook...The air fares where stupid this year,we canceled our normal visit at pelie & marias end of july coz of flight costs.Almost €1,000  for 2 adults.so now we come end of august for €400.but stay at jasmine as pelie was full.  You dont find self catering accomodation in Belgian travel accomodation.lucky i know of SS from when i lived in Uk..

Jaxbubbles, you certainly can use your Halifax Clarity Card at an ATM overseas, there are no withdrawal fees as there is with most other credit cards, however when withdrawing from an overseas ATM you will pay interest from the day the cash is withdrawn, even if you pay off the balance in full, the rate is relatively low at about 12.9% I believe.

Use it abroad at tavernas, bars, supermarkets, anywhere that accepts them and you will get the best exchange rate available without exception, it is the best card available at present.

Congratulations on choosing this card, you are in a minority (including me) on this forum.
