Outbound from Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), just about to board and remember that one last piece of business you’ve got to dispose of before kicking back for a bit?

There’s hope. Intercontinental has a business center on the south side of Terminal A. The IAH Business Center is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon. There you’ll find individual work stations with Internet access, copying and printing services, postal and courier dispatch, fax access, free local calls, a notary public (not all business centers have this crucial service), office supplies and such.

Some folks prefer the place to airline clubs. One of them is Linda Burns, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A release from the Houston Airports System quotes Burns as saying, “I had to come all the way up from Terminal C, but it was worth the extra trip. I don’t have to pay those expensive airport club fees to send a few faxes.” She’d like to see more airports adopt the stand-alone business center strategy.

This doesn’t mean services in the center are free. Fees are attached. Rates at office supply chain stores were researched before being set for the center.

The IAH Business Center is part of the Houston Airport System’s “Balanced Scoreboard Initiative”, an initiative designed to bring new services to airport passengers.
