In short

You can exchange currency at Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport at exchange counters and ATMs in the arrivals area. Rates at the airport are usually slightly worse than in-city exchange companies, so change a small amount for immediate needs and use city exchanges or bank ATMs for the rest. USD, GBP, EUR and Gulf currencies are widely accepted for exchange.
