    Money Overseas - ATM, Trav Cheques or VISA

    NZ approach is similar. If it has potential to be enclosed or partially enclosed it is deemed indoors and no smoking. Which means tables/benches that are streetside, harbourside and balconies are non smoking.

    I wouldn't. What if they don't return book and you need to mail/fax in boarding pass for missing credit?
