What currency do I use on the plane and in the airport?

I am traveling from Chicago to Dublin (layover) and into Scotland. What kind of currency am I allowed to use on board and in the airports? I am so confused!|||Hey there,





When you are Stateside, you use US Dollars, as you usually would.





On board the flight to Dublin, you won't be paying for anything (meals are included in your ticket price) but you could decide to buy duty-free products (perfume, cigarettes, electronics) if they are offered. In that case, they will generally allow you to pay by credit card or cash, in which case they will probably accept US Dollars.





As a rule of thumb, don't assume that Dublin airport will accept Dollars. It would be better to have some Euros on hand to pay airport purchases.





The flight from Dublin to Scotland depends 鈥?if you are flying with a low-cost carrier like RyanAir or EasyJet, you will need to pay if you want food or drink. They will *not* accept US Dollars (they are under no legal obligation to do so). Instead, you will need to pay in Euros or Pounds. If you are flying with a 'normal' airline, you will generally not need to pay for food/drink.





Hope this helped,





JPJ|||The normal currency of the airline will be that of the country it is registered with. So, for example, if you are flying with Delta it will be US $, with BA it will be pounds sterling and with Lufthansa or Aer Lingus it will be the Euro. All the airlines will accept US dollars or other negotiable currencies.





You will be able to change dollars if you need to for Euros in Dublin. The rate if you offer dollars in a cafe or airport bar will be lower than at the Bureau De Change though.





When you arrive in Scotland it is the pound sterling for the whole of your time there.|||You can use US currency in the airports anywhere cuz they will just convert it (but the change you get back will be in the country's money) and on planes i think you might need a credit card (not sure but you might be able to use US currency in the air also)|||you don't need any money on the planes; if food is not included, take some. Take an empty water bottle through security and fill it in the airport. Duty free on aircraft is a rip-off.





Dublin uses the Euro and Scotland the pound. If you are buying anything in Dublin, they will take dollars, pounds or a credit card; the other currencies will be at a poor exchange rate though.|||The currency of the country you are in. There are currency exchange places in the airport. As for on the airplane, I bet they accept a few different types...
