I will be needing cash for giving tips to the wheelchair assistance people at the US Airports. I have been told that $5 is an OK tip, but I try to give a little more as these people are usually very nice and have to survive on a minimum wage.
Having money for a magazine to read, some food and coffee is also a good idea. Sometimes a 2 or 3 hour wait at an airport can turn into a 9 or 10 hour one. My motto is..."Be prepared, just in case".
As soon as the plane takes off and is in cruise mode I empty my purse of any Aussie money, put it into a plastic zip lock bag, then put in the currency of the country I'm heading to. Nothing worse than having someone look at you queerly because you're trying to pay for something with the wrong money, and according to "Murphy's Law", it's bound to happen when you're at the front of a long queue!

The Aussie dollar just start to fall so you got in just in time.
Yes, I'm glad I already got some money changed but I hope the Aussie dollar doesn't keep going down while I'm in America.
