When Should You Buy Your Turkish Lira?

With the lira's history of movement against the pound, travellers often wonder whether to wait for a better moment. Rates cannot be timed reliably, so the practical advice is simple: buy Turkish lira once the trip is booked, through a commission-free provider such as Travel FX, and enjoy the certainty.

Certainty beats speculation

Locking in your holiday money early fixes your budget in pounds and removes the temptation to gamble on rate moves that can go either way.

Buy in stages if you prefer

Splitting the purchase into two or three orders averages the rate across several weeks, a sensible compromise for larger amounts.
