Access to some IAH lounge?
 

I am in Vancouver, working through the Internet on a very tight schedule so I can't miss a workday. And I need to be in Austin, Texas on a Saturday. I have found an YVR-IAH flight which lands at 2PM and one that leaves 11PM so if I could spend the hours between working I would be golden (if it matters: Continental). However, I am not a Platinum Senator Whatnot of any airline just a regular pax travelling on cattle class :D I can throw in some money to make this happen so all this boils down to the question: is there any business lounge at IAH where I can work for a day for some money?

Oh my dear god where were you in the last few years :) ? I could have used this and a lot. Anyways, thanks a ton. This is a very useful service! Although a bit pricey. After a very little Googling, however, I found the Lounge Pass service which seems just what I needed.

Yes, extremely useful as it is airline independent, and can be used with many lounges even when flying with easyjet, dlx, southwest, AirAsia.... will pay for itself in one ticket.

Please follow this thread as it is moved to the United States -> South forum. Thanks for your understanding.

Why nine hours in IAH from 2 pm until 11 pm? CO has five flights that leave from 2:30 pm until 9:30 pm to AUS.

You don't need to buy an annual PPass membership if you don't want to. The Continental Presidents Clubs offer day-pass rates for entry that you can simply pay at the front desk ($45). Also, you can check in the Continental forum in the sticky thread for P Club meet ups. Someone might be able to get you in for free.

And if you are buying the ticket with the long layover because the shorter ones are cheaper you can likely fly standby on the earlier CO flights for free by requesting the change at IAH.
