The banks are good at the moment. You also generally do well converting it over there and paying on cards, drawn as dollars.

My friends and I all independently did well from our own different banks.

Airport was funny. Bad rate and a fiver charge. I had only changed a bit because I was only going for a few days originally. Ended up flying with that and getting the rest over there.

My banks offering 1.775 which is shite.

Airport usually if you order them in advance to be picked up you get a decent rate, if you just turn up they make the most of your last minute planning!!

I'll pop down the cheque center at lunch time tomorrow
