If i buy a 1 day 2-6 off peak ticket at Heathrow can i use a machine or
do i have to go to the ticket seller ?
I recall that you may be posting from the U.S. (Ignore this post if I'm
wrong.) I had problems convincing some of the ticket machines to accept
my U.S. credit card, since the U.S. hasn't adopted chip-and-PIN.
But the human ticket agents accept credit cards, including those issued
in the U.S.
Given the relatively trivial price of this ticket (£4.30) might you not
be better off paying cash? The machines can (sometimes) change large
notes and you will need to have some loose change for casual purchases
sooner or later.
It might make sense to break up a large note at an airport shop before
facing the Tube.
(You can then keep most of your valuables secure and have small change
and your Travelcard handy & accessible.)
