Buying postage stamps in IAH
Slightly odd question - I'm transiting via IAH international to international and need to mail a letter. Is it possible to buy stamps airside ie newstands? I've checked the airport website and there doesn't appear to be a post office within any of the terminals. I also have United Club membership if that's relevant.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

I've bought stamps at ATMs in NY before.
Can't you buy postage online? Not sure how it works, do you print out some little barcode stamp and tape it on?
I'd be more worried about finding a place to mail it (Club/lounge) that actually goes out…I've never seen a mail slot in an airport (again I've never specifically looked for one).

OP says that he is CO Plat... if currently *G, can go into the United Club and ask them to mail on your behalf. Many of the clubs that I've been to have an outgoing mail tray behind the service desk (ex SFO, which I've had mail for me a number of times).

SFO has a couple right outside T3 UC. And the BoA machine there takes check/cash deposits, which, as a slum lord, I appreciate.
LAX has BoA machines in T7, T6, and at start of passageway from T7 to T6, all airside. But those 3 never seem to accept my card, even though it's a BoA debit card (for 2 years now).
UC will post letters.
