NEW YORK -- When flight delays occur, several airports have made it
easier to get work done, even for those not carrying a computer.
Laptop Lanes are 40-square-foot workstations with lockable
doors. For 38 cents per minute, business services include printing,
faxing, domestic long-distance calls and Internet usage.
Travelers with Ethernet-equipped computers on hand can log on at
T-1 speed and print in color at the concierge station.
Laptop Lanes are open at Chicago O'Hare; Cincinnati/Northern
Kentucky; Denver; Detroit Wayne County Metropolitan, Hartsfield
Atlanta; Philadelphia; Phoenix Sky Harbor; Seattle-Tacoma, and
Tampa (Fla).
The service is in the works for Dallas/Fort Worth;
Raleigh-Durham, N.C., and New York's Kennedy and La Guardia.
