Commission-free currency/travellers cheques?

[Speedlock]

I'm going on holiday to Egypt next week and need to get some currency and travellers cheques sorted out...does anyone know where the best/cheapest place is?

Cheapest I have found so far would appear to be the good old Post Office who are offering commission-free currency and 1.5% commission on sterling travellers cheques - can anyone top that?

Cheers for any help :thumbs

Egypt eh? Always wanted to go there. Where you staying, Luxor or the red sea area?
Anyway the pound is strong over there so change some money when you get there. Have a good trip.

I'm staying at Sharks Bay in Sharm El-Sheikh...apparently there are no sharks there though

I hadn't considered the possibility of changing the money when I get there - should I take just a small amount of Egyptian Pounds in cash and the rest in travellers cheques then? Still looking for somewhere that can beat the Post Office for price...
