Total Confusion
Oct 9, 2004
When using a foreign ATM with an American debit card, there might be the option for you to be billed in Euros (for example) or in Dollars. Choose Euros. I always got almost exactly what xe.com said the exchange rate for the day was when I did that and charged more when I didn't. (Sorry I can't remember the exact wording of the option screen, but when I lived in Spain I always had a yes/no option as to how I wanted to take out Euros from my Dollar American account, one being cheaper than the other in the end).

Also, http://www.seatguru.com for when you book your flights. Make sure the seat you're getting isn't a bad one.
