Find out if you should use Travel Money Oz to exchange foreign currency in Australia.

What this Travel Money Oz Review Covers:

We’re most interested in how safe Travel Money Oz is, how they work and when you should use them. In this article, we’ll explore:

• Pros and Cons.
• Travel Money Oz exchange rates.
• Is Travel Money Oz a good option to exchange currency?
• Does Travel Money Oz charge fees and commissions?

Pros and cons of the Travel Money Oz

• 130+ stores to visit – open late and on weekends.
• You can order online 24/7.
• No commissions
• Excellent range of currencies in stock
• Card handling fees if you want to buy currency online using a card. Although, this can be avoided by paying through BPAY.
• 3-5 business day wait for online orders.
• Exchange rate varies in from store to store

The Currency Shop says:

Travel Money Oz is exceptionally convenient due to their large national network of 130+ stores that are open late and on weekends. The range of currencies is very good, particularly online.

Their exchange rates are better online than in-store. Unfortunately, the exchange rates are different from store to store, so it's hard to find the best rate if you don't want to buy your currency online.

While they do not charge a commission or fee, using a credit card may incur more fees.

Learn more about the Travel Money Oz

Travel money oz currency exchange rates today, compare travel money oz exchange rates to other banks and foreign exchange services, what you should know about travel money oz rates.

There is a few different things you should know about the exchange rates at Travel Money Oz .

The difference between online and in-store

The exchange rates that you see online are different to what you are offered in-store. As a general rule, the exchange rates online are going to be better than in person. This is because they don't have to pay for the costs of running a store.

Ironically, if you are in a store and you ask them to match their online rate, they might do it. This is particularly true if you are buying or selling more than $1000.

Each store offers a different exchange rate

The exchange rate you will get is not the same in every Travel Money Oz store. They all offer different exchange rates, depending on a lot of different things.

We've found that the most competitive exchange rates are offered in the stores located in the heart of the city. This could be because there is more competition nearby.

How to get a better exchange rate

The key to getting the best exchange rate is to order the currency online and pick it up in store. This is because the exchange rates online are much better than in store. It does take 2-4 business days so you can't do it if you need to buy currency at the last minute. Also make sure you pay using BPay to avoid any additional card fees.

If you are heading in store but you've found a better exchange rate somewhere else, you can ask them to match it.

Much like Bunnings or Officeworks, Travel Money Oz has a ‘ Best Rate Guarantee‘ . This is a fantastic offer. They will basically match any other exchange rate from a competitor. While there are terms and conditions, if you can prove that the quote you received is relevant and current, they will match the rate.

As mentioned above, the best exchange rates in store tend to be in the city locations.

Finally, avoid their travel card. The exchange rates they offer for their travel card are much worse than cash. You can clearly see this on the calculator on their homepage.

Travel Money Oz recently released the  Currency Pass Travel Card.  This allows you load currency onto the card, so that you don't have to carry large amounts of cash with you while you travel.

You can find out more on the Travel Money Oz website.

Yes, you can.

Travel Money Oz: Everything You Need to Know

Travel Money Oz is one of Australia’s biggest foreign exchange companies. It has more than 60 stores across the country and 60+ currencies available to buy. Its commercial services include:

• Foreign currency exchange
• Prepaid travel money card (the Currency Pass)
• Online international money transfers

Travel Money Oz Currency Exchange

Travel Money Oz sells more than 60 foreign currencies at stores across Australia. They also buy back any leftover foreign currency. Foreign currency exchange is only available in-store, not online.

Travel Money Oz exchange rates

As with Travelex and Crown Currency , Travel Money Oz uses a retail exchange rate rather than the mid-market rate (which is the rate shown on Google and is the most accurate meeting point between the buy and sell prices of two currencies).

Since Travel Money Oz does not add commissions or fees to each foreign currency transaction, it makes its profit by marking up the exchange rate.

Travel Money Oz exchange rates work a little differently from most other exchange companies. Instead of providing real-time rates, they lock in their rates every morning.

This means Travel Money Oz exchange rates don’t fluctuate throughout the day. For example, the AUD to USD rate you see in the morning will be the same in the afternoon.

The exchange rates described on the Travel Money Oz website are not indicative of the rate you may be given in-store. This is because online rates are only for the Currency Pass travel card. However, stores may be willing to match the website rate.

Travel Money Oz also has a few offers to ensure you get a good deal on your currency exchange.

Best Price Guarantee

This is a promise to provide the best exchange rate in Australia. If you find a better same-day deal from another foreign exchange company, Travel Money Oz guarantees to beat it in-store.

They promise to beat the transaction price by A$1 or else give you A$100, which will be given as a currency travel card or loaded onto your existing Currency Pass card.

You must provide proof of the better exchange rate from an Australian competitor either as an official, written quote or a published rate.

Cash Commitment

The Cash Commitment is a guarantee that Travel Money Oz will have certain currencies in stock when you visit them in-store.

If the currency you need is unavailable, you can choose to either place a deposit and receive a bonus when the cash is available for pickup, or walk away with a $20 Travel Money Oz voucher (with 6 months’ validity).

The bonus depends on how much you spend:

• $20 if you spend $200-$999
• $50 if you spend $1000-$2,999
• $100 if you spent $3,000 or more

Only 7 currencies are covered under the Cash Commitment. These are:

• Great British Pound (GBP)
• United States Dollar (USD)
• New Zealand Dollar (NZD)
• Japanese Yen (JPY)
• Singapore Dollar (SGD)
• Thai Baht (THB)

Rate Move Guarantee

Worried that you may miss out if the exchange rate improves after you’ve bought your currency? Travel Money Oz protects you against this with the Rate Move Guarantee.

If the retail exchange rate on certain currencies improves in the next 14 days after you’ve purchased your foreign currency in-store, you’ll receive the difference (kind of like a refund).

Only 11 currencies are covered by the Rate Move Guarantee:

• Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
• Fijian Dollars (FJD)
• Canadian Dollar (CAD)
• Chinese Yuan (CNY)

When you buy your foreign currency, ask the staff member to add the Rate Move Guarantee to your transaction at no extra cost. They will need a few personal details.

If, in the next 14 days, the Travel Money Oz exchange rate improves, you can return to the same store to submit a Rate Move Guarantee claim. Travel Money Oz will pay the difference (in Australian dollars) into your chosen bank account within 7 days.

At a Glance: Travel Money Oz Fees and Charges

Travel Money Oz does not charge a commission or fee to convert your AUD into a foreign currency (or vice versa). The way they make their profit is to add a markup onto the exchange rate itself.

While the markup isn’t explicitly stated, there’s an easy way to determine what it is. Simply compare the Travel Money Oz quote you are given with the mid-market exchange rate, which you can find on Google or XE.com .

Travel Money Oz Currency Pass

The Currency Pass (formerly the Key to the World Currency Card) is a travel money card issued by Travel Money Oz.

With it, you can load up to 10 currencies, lock in the exchange rate, and use it like you would a debit card overseas. You can order the card online, through the app, or in-store.

How it works

Treat your Currency Pass as a regular Mastercard debit card; you can use it almost anywhere Mastercard is accepted.

Simply load currency to the value of between A$20 and A$50,000 (in-store; if you pay online or via the app, the maximum is A$10,000).

Then you can make purchases in-store, shop online in a supported currency, and withdraw cash from ATMs.

The advantage of the Currency Pass is that it can hold multiple currencies (up to 10) at the same time. You can transfer money between currencies whenever you need to, using the Travel Money Oz app or website.

Supported currencies include:

• Australian Dollar (AUD)
• Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)

Hot tip: Plan your reloads in advance! Bank transfer will take at least one business day and BPAY takes 3 business days on average to load onto your card.

Travel money oz card fees.

The Currency Pass has no currency conversion or inactivity fees but it still incurs the same Travel Money Oz markup on exchange rates, not to mention the ATM fees will start to add up.

Where to buy a Travel Money Oz Currency Pass

You can buy your Currency Pass travel card from any Travel Money Oz, Flight Centre, Universal Traveller, or Travel Associates store. You can also buy it online at travelmoneyoz.com and receive it in the mail (allow up to 14 days for delivery).

The Travel Money Oz App

The Travel Money Oz App (previously called The Key to the World) is where you can manage your travel money card. Using the app, you should be able to:

• Block and unblock your card
• Track your spending
• View your balance

According to their website, you can download the Travel Money Oz app from both Google Play and the Apple App Store. However, the Android version of the app is currently unavailable on the most recent version of Android. Poor reviews (1.5 stars on the App Store and 1.6 stars on Google Play) report that the app is buggy and unreliable.

Travel Money Transfers

On the Travel Money Oz website, you can send money internationally across more than 30 currencies, starting at a minimum of A$200.

To use the service, you will need to sign up to the Travel Money Transfers online portal. Funds usually take between 24 and 48 hours to arrive in the intended account, although it can often happen on the same day.

According to Travel Money Oz, their exchange rates often beat major bank exchange rates by up to 3%. However, they also offer a Rate Beat Guarantee, under which they promise to beat any better rate that you find elsewhere. There are no transfer fees.

Travel Money Oz uses the Australian-based money transfer company Send for this service.

Travel Money Oz has decent reviews on Trustpilot , with an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars. Reviewers consistently praise the in-store customer service and the good deals on exchange rates.

The most common complaints are about the lack of assistance, particularly when dealing with issues related to the Currency Pass travel card.

Travel Money Oz has more than 60 stores across Australia, mostly in the major capital cities, including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.

There are also stores on the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, as well as in Newcastle, Maitland, Shellharbour, Geelong, Bendigo, and Ballarat. You can find your nearest Travel Money Oz store here .

Once upon a time, you could order your currency online on the Travel Money Oz website and pick it up in-store. However, this service is currently unavailable.

If you want to buy foreign currency with Travel Money Oz, you must do it in-store.

Returned from overseas with a load of extra cash? Travel Money Oz is happy to buy more than 55 foreign currencies in exchange for Australian dollars — as long as the banknotes are in reasonable condition.

Currencies they’re willing to buy include:

Barbados Dollar (BBD), Bahamas Dollar (BSD), Bahraini Dinar (BHD), Brazil Real (BRL), Bruneian Dollar (BND), Canadian Dollar (CAD), CFP Franc (XPF), Chilean Peso (CLP), Chinese Yuan (CNY), Czech Republic Koruna (CZE), Danish Krone (DKK), Euro (EUR), Fijian Dollars (FJD), Great British Pound (GBP), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Hungarian Forint (HUF), Indian Rupee (INR), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), Israeli Shekel (ILS), Japanese Yen (JPY), Jordanian Dinar (JOD), Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Mauritian Rupee (MUR), Mexican Peso (MXN), Macau Pataca (MOP), Moroccan Dirham (MAD), New Zealand Dollar (NZD), Norwegian Krone (NOK), Omani Rial (OMR), Pakistani Rupee (PKR), Papua New Guinea Kina (PGK), Philippine Peso (PHP), Polish Zloty (PLN), Samoan Tala (WST), Saudi Arabian Riyal (SAU), Singapore Dollar (SGD), Solomon Islander Dollar (SLB), South African Rand (ZAR), South Korean Won (KRW), Sri Lankan Rupee (LKA), Swedish Krona (SEK), Swiss Franc (CHF), Thai Baht (THB), Tongan Pa'anga (TOP), Turkish Lira (TUR), United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED), United States Dollar (USD), Vanuatu Vatu (VUV), Vietnamese Dong (VNM)

Few currency exchange stores buy back foreign coins and Travel Money Oz is no exception.

However, you can drop them off at any Travel Money Oz store as a donation to UNICEF’s Small Change, Big Difference program, which helps protect children around the world.

With 5 years’ validity, your Currency Pass travel card is likely to last well beyond your travels. Fortunately, the card can be used just like a regular debit card within Australia.

You can use it to make purchases both in-store and online in Australia, as well as to withdraw money from ATMs. Just be aware that withdrawing Australian dollars from a domestic ATM will incur a 2.95% withdrawal fee.

You can make general enquiries about Travel Money Oz through the contact form on their website . Responses are generally provided within 2 business days.

If you’re looking for a more immediate response, you can call 1300 426 997. You will encounter an automated phone service with options to discuss the travel card, money transfers, and currency exchange.

For Travel Money Oz currency exchanges, your call will be forwarded to an expert at a store in your state or territory.

Travel Money Oz started as seven separate businesses operated by Nationwide Currency Services (NCS). In 2006, Flight Centre bought NCS. In 2011, NCS became the company we know today — Travel Money Oz.

In 2015, Travel Money Oz merged with Travel Money NZ to form the Travel Money Group. The business still operates as Travel Money Oz in Australia.

Between 2011 and 2019, Travel Money Oz doubled in size, opening more than 130 stores in Australia, New Zealand, and America and becoming one of Australia’s largest currency exchange services.

International travel to return to Rockford airport

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - Those looking to go on an international vacation will soon be able to fly out of Rockford once again.

On Wednesday, the Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) announced the return of nonstop flights to destinations in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. Passenger flights to international destinations from Rockford were stalled in 2020 due to the pandemic.

“Ever since the pandemic drastically changed passenger travel, we’ve been working with ALG Vacations to bring their Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights back to our airport so we can further serve people in our region,” said RFD Executive Director Zack Oakley. “The Rockford market is enthusiastic about travel – that’s something we’re listening to, advocating for, and working tirelessly on so RFD can provide more great travel opportunities to our community. We hope to continue offering more destinations in the years to come,” he added.

The Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights on GlobalX Airlines will begin on Jan. 24, 2025. The flights will be offered by Apple Vacations and its sister companies, Funjet Vacations and Travel Impressions.

“Rockford has been a successful market for vacation companies like our Apple Vacations, Funjet Vacations, and Travel Impressions brands for many years, and we’re excited to bring this service back to RFD for 2025,” said Ray Snisky, group president at ALG Vacations.

The airport released the following flight schedules:

Costa Rica:

• Fridays, starting January 24, 2025

Cancun, Riviera Maya, Mexico:

• Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting January 25, 2025

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic:

• Thursdays and Sundays, starting January 26, 2025

Dr. Oz discusses managing anxiety

• Published: Jun. 05, 2024, 8:15 a.m.

Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Michael Roizen, M.D. Isabelle Selby Photography

Q: I just got back from a doctor’s appointment that I made to talk to him about how lousy I am feeling lately. Everything seems to bother me and I worry all the time. He just brushed it off, saying I need to relax. I’d love to ... but how? -- Sandra E., Lexington, Kentucky

A: We can’t diagnose you at this distance, but we can tell you that a new study shows that more than 80% of folks with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) go undiagnosed -- and untreated! And that affects millions of folks. A recent National Health and Wellness Survey found that almost a quarter of the more than 75,000 folks screened were positive for GAD. The ripple effect is far-reaching. It affects how well folks do at work, how they interact with family and friends, and it increases the risk for everything from cardiovascular disease to chronic pain and depression.

To decrease your symptoms, Harvard Medical School says that exercise may be the best non-medical remedy. Unfortunately, folks with GAD are often more sedentary than other folks and when they do exercise, they do it with less intensity. That’s a disadvantage for sure. If you do moderate to intense aerobics, not only do you relieve muscle tension and build resilience, you elevate your heart rate so it stimulates brain chemicals that make you feel calmer, such as serotonin and endocannabinoids.

For psychological therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to help tamp down anxious reactions, and the antianxiety medication buspirone, as well as antidepressants, may be beneficial. The Anxiety & Depression Association of America offers a search function to locate treatment experts near you, as well as online peer-to-peer communities you can join at adaa.org .

For information on techniques and supplements that can ease stress, check out the iHerb.com blog, “Experiencing More Anxiety? Here Are 8 Natural Approaches to Relief,” and explore our book “You: Breathing Easy: Meditation and Breathing Techniques to Relax, Refresh and Revitalize.”

Dr. Mike Roizen is the founder of www.longevityplaybook.com , and Dr. Mehmet Oz is global advisor to www.iHerb.com , the world’s leading online health store. Roizen and Oz are chief wellness officer emeritus at Cleveland Clinic and professor emeritus at Columbia University, respectively.

These New Government-approved Locations Around the U.S. Will Speed Up Your Passport Process

The “Special Passport Acceptance Fairs” will be taking place from New Jersey to Florida this month.

Mehroz Kapadia/Travel + Leisure

The U.S. Government is taking a summer road trip to make it easier for first-time passport holders to complete applications.

Continuing the State Department's “Special Passport Acceptance Fairs” — which was created to speed up passport processing times of passports for first timers — the agency has just released a new batch of dates through July 6. The events will be held in Arizona, California, Florida, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina and South Carolina. The events are often held at post offices, recreation centers, or libraries.

The events are only for new passports, and not renewals. “We're holding special passport fairs all across the United States to help you get your passport more easily,” the State Department shared on their site.  Here’s the full list of upcoming Special Passport Acceptance Fairs, times and location details available on the Fair website : June 5 - Somerville, NJ - Somerville Branch Library June 6 - Manchester, NJ - Leisure Village West Association - Willow Hall June 7 - Nutley, NJ - Nutley Parks and Recreation Center June 8 - Exeter, CA - Exeter Post Office June 8 - Tell City, IN - Tell City Post Office June 8 - Fairfield, NJ - Fairfield Recreation Center June 8 - Greenville, SC - Greenville Main Post Office June 11 - Verona, NJ - Verona Town Hall June 12 - Bridgewater, NJ - Bridgewater Branch Library June 12 - Toms River, NJ - Lake Ridge June 12 - Mahwah, NJ - Senior Center June 13 - Clermont, FL - Highlander Building June 13 - Kissimmee, FL - Valencia College Poinciana Campus June 13 - Lakeland, FL - Keiser University June 13 - Orlando, FL - University of Central Florida - Live Oak Event Center June 13 - Orlando, FL - Leonard & Marjorie Williams Family YMCA June 13 - Sanford, FL - Sanford Civic Center June 13 - Garfield, NJ - City Hall June 14 - Kissimmee, FL - Holiday Inn Orlando SW Celebration June 15 - Carrboro, NC - Carrboro Post Office June 15 - Okeechobee, FL - Okeechobee County Clerk of the Circuit Court June 15 - Las Cruces, NM - Las Cruces Main Post Office June 15 - Montpelier, VT - Vermont Secretary of State Office June 17 - Brick, NJ - Greenbriar One June 18 - Bergenfield, NJ - Conlon Hall June 18 - Verona, NJ - Verona Town Hall June 22 - Oroville, CA - Butte County Elections Office June 22 - Livingston, NJ - Livingston Public Library June 22 - Milford, NH - Wadleigh Memorial Library June 22 - Scottsdale, AZ - Scottsdale Office June 26 - Bridgewater, NJ - Bridgewater Branch Library June 27 - Fairlawn, NJ - Council Chambers, 2nd Floor July 6 - Pensacola, FL - Nobles Station Post Office

For people seeking a new passport that don’t live near one of the special events, they can still submit an application through the existing process . The current processing times for passports are 6 to 8 weeks for routine service, 2 to 3 weeks for expedited service, and urgent service is available by appointment for people with travel within 14 calendar days, according to the State Department .

The State Department recently shared a notice of the top mistakes that people make when completing a passport application, including failure to follow the passport photo requirements and not completing all of the form sections.

7 International and Domestic Destinations With Cheap Flights This Summer

By Jessica Puckett

When it comes to summer travel, shelling out for expensive airfare can feel like a foregone conclusion. But this year, it’s possible to find cheap last-minute flights during June, July, and August to even some of the most popular destinations.

Data shows that airfares this summer are notably cheaper compared to summer 2023. Domestic airfares for June, July, and August are $305 per ticket on average—that’s a 6% drop from last summer, according to Hopper’s report . In fact, Hopper says that this summer is the first time that airfares have gotten more affordable year-over-year since 2020. “Prices this summer are expected to peak around $315 per ticket at the end of May and early June,” says the Hopper report.

Some of the biggest savings can be found on southbound routes. Data from travel search site Kayak shows that flights to Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico are 14%, 15%, and 16% cheaper this summer, respectively, compared to last year.

If you do plan on flying internationally, plan to travel in August if possible. During that month, Kayak’s data shows that international airfare drops by 3% compared to last year. Specifically, August 12 to 25 is the cheapest time to fly internationally, according to Kayak’s data.

With that advice in mind, here are seven destinations you can still score affordable airfare to for a summer trip. The fares represent the average price of summer flights departing roundtrip from the US; the actual ticket cost will vary depending on the airport or city you depart from. For more expert tips on how to nab affordable airfare, check out this guide to finding cheap last-minute flights .

The average airfare from the mainland US to Hawai'i is 18% cheaper compared to last summer, per Kayak.

Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i

This summer, travelers looking to visit Big Island of Hawai’i and revel in its mix of tropical lushness, serene beaches, and volcanic wonders are in luck. The average airfare from the US mainland comes in at $663—that’s 18% cheaper than last summer, according to Kayak’s report. Thanks to the less-expensive tickets, you might be able to tack on a couple of inter-island flights to explore more of the gorgeous archipelago. Hops to neighbor islands like Kauai or Maui usually start at about $80 one-way.

Mexico City, Mexico

The electric dining scene and cultural attractions of Mexico City are within reach for budget-conscious travelers this summer. Airfares for the season are averaging at $479 round-trip, Kayak says. Summer is a cheaper time to visit some parts of Mexico because the country’s rainy season kicks up in May and lasts through September. Although rain is frequent during this stretch, it’s usually not enough to ruin a trip. Any precipitation typically comes as showers that pass relatively quickly, followed by lots of sunshine.

A summer trip to South Florida can be an affordable way to visit places like Palm Beach without the crowds—just be prepared for the 90 degree heat.

West Palm Beach, Florida

If it’s a domestic beach getaway you’re after, consider a visit to West Palm Beach. Flights to this charming Southern Florida enclave are averaging $346, per Kayak’s report. Once you step off the plane, you’ll have access to everything from white sand beaches to top-notch seafood restaurants and eclectic vintage stores in the city’s famous Clematis Street historic district. Beyond West Palm Beach, additional Florida destinations like Orlando ($328 average airfare) and Miami ($375) are also fun—and financially realistic—summer trip ideas for discount-minded tourists.

Belize City, Belize

One of the most popular destinations in Central America is Belize, which offers some of the best scuba diving and snorkeling in the world, thanks to the Belize Barrier Reef . This summer, travelers don’t have to blow their budget to visit the Caribbean nation, which also counts Mayan ruins and tropical jungles among its many tourism draws. Airline tickets to Belize City for the season have dipped to an average of $604 round-trip, Kayak’s data says. That’s 24% less expensive than the average ticket price in summer 2023. From Belize City, you can take an inexpensive puddle-jumper plane to the sleepy coastal village of Placencia, known for its laidback resorts, or to one of the many small islands, like Ambergris Caye, that sit just off the mainland’s coast.

Nassau, Bahamas

Those seeking warm weather and sunshine would be hard pressed to find a better vacation spot than Nassau. Especially this summer, when the average price for flights is hovering right at $504 round-trip. Daily highs routinely hit 90 degrees or above during the summer months, which are also part of the area’s rainy season. But like most islands in the region, Nassau’s summer rain storms are typically heavy but short-lived, meaning there’s minimal interruption to your pool time or beach lounging. This can, however, become a more serious issue in late summer—especially August and September—when the brunt of hurricane season is in effect, so take note if you plan to travel during those months or later into fall.

Sydney is in the midst of winter during June, July, and August, making it a great choice for a cooler summer escape.

Sydney, Australia

Although the average summer airfare from the US to Sydney is well over a thousand dollars, we still consider it a good deal when considering how long flights are (it takes about 15 hours nonstop from California). This summer, Kayak says the average round-trip is clocking in at $1,304. That’s a whopping 22% cheaper than last summer’s average airfare and could be worth pouncing on. Because it’s in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia is actually in the midst of winter during June, July, and August. The temperature usually still reaches a balmy 65 degrees Fahrenheit in Sydney each day and can dip as low as the 40s, making it a perfect destination for travelers looking to cool off during the hottest months in the US.

Charleston, South Carolina

With its unique blend of important historical sites, an ever-evolving culinary scene, and powdery beaches along the Atlantic, Charleston is a summer destination that offers something for every type of traveler. What it doesn’t have: expensive airfares. The average ticket price for this summer is right at $349, Kayak says. Be warned that the summer months do bring sweltering weather to South Carolina, but with countless beaches (and even some small islands to explore) there’s plenty of opportunity to find relief from—and even revel in—the soaring temperatures.
