ATM at the Dabolim airport?

Hi - I wonder if anyone can put my mind at rest?

I am only thinking of taking a bit of sterling as i want to use my Nationwide card to take out some money from an ATM as there is no charge and you get a really good rate apparently.

Is there a handy ATM at the airport where i could get some rupees? I don%26#39;t really want to have to get travellers cheques if i can help it?

I go tomorrow and am so excited....

Thanks in anticipation!

there is a money exchange at the airport but only change a small abount of cash as rate is very poor, not sure about an ATM machine. just take a bit more sterling for the fist days till you get your bearings unit you can use your card.

Have a great time we go sunday. See you are a fellow Boltonian

Hope this reaches you in time. I%26#39;ve been back home less than a week so you can treat this as very up-to-date info! When you get outside at Dabolim, turn right and there is an ATM on your right after a very short distance. We used our NW debit card there and in resort with no probs at all. BTW, did you know that NW will be starting to charge for ATM withdrawals soon - the meanies! Currently, the rate you get is the bank rate of the day which is much better than exchanging money of faffing with TCs. have a great time. i%26#39;m very envious. Any other Qs, please feel free to ask.

Thanks so much - you have definetley put my mind at rest!

We used it in Turkey last year and it was a great way of getting money out and a much better rate than the hotels could offer - plus saves alot of messing about with TCs

Did you stay round the Betalbatim/Colva area?

What is the weather/humidity like at the moment?

Did you fly with Monarch?

Any info is great as we haven%26#39;t been before - sorry for all the questions!

no probs with all the Qus. i used this forum a lot before i went so it%26#39;s nice to be able to help people for a change. we stayed in cavelossim in the south (brilliant). weather was in the low-mid 30s and i found the humidity ok but then again, we didn%26#39;t do much. the heat/humidity can be pretty draining so don%26#39;t plan on doing something every day unless you%26#39;re used to such temps. hope i%26#39;ve answered all your Qus but when i clicked on reply, it only shows your original post and i can%26#39;t remember all your Qus now!

ah, missed one. no, we didn%26#39;t fly monarch. we few with kingfisher via mumbai (via bangalore on the way home). i%26#39;d really recommmend kingfisher. it may not be direct, but it%26#39;s a great airline, good leg room, food and service, plus all of our flights were spot-on timewise.

Thanks so much for all the information. I love the heat it%26#39;s just the humidity i sometimes struggle with?

Went to Cuba last May and you felt like you were in a sauna and permanently wet through!!

Will look into the Kingfisher flight as it sounds like a good experience.

I will report back on my holiday when i get back - thanks again! :0)

No probs at all. have a great time and if you have any more questions before you do, don%26#39;t hesitate to ask. i know how i felt before i went to goa for the first time - now i feel like an expert even tho i was only there for 2 weeks! It%26#39;s easy when you know how!
