If you have a long layover between flights, Head over to E-5 in United's beautiful international terminal. The view is outstanding. You can watch aircraft depart three different runways from this here

Rebecca MorehiserNovember 28, 2012Pedestrian travelers beware the fleet of high-speed transport vehicles barreling haphazardly through the terminal. "To your left! To the right! In the middle!" It's like a game of Frogger out there.

If you are arriving on an international flight be sure you plan plenty of time if you are connecting in Houston. Long lines in immigration and customs take a very long time to process through.

Busy airport make sure you get in with plenty of time cause it’s real big! Lots of good eating places. Well kept.Upvoted Oct 20
Huge airport lots of food and shopping options. I had to kill 5 hours and there was plenty to do. But not enough power outlets in seating areas
Free Wifi here at IAH at President Lounge! Don't 4 get if u at the TSA area take all your metal, or electronic off 1 more thing if a minor child "NO NEED" to go through the scanner!
Paola RiosJune 17, 2018Terminal C has a BAZAAR food hall with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options :-)
Mary AndersonNovember 23, 2015It's a big airport with free wifi! Terminal E has the best food spots like CatCora's, Cinnabon, sushi place, Pappasito's cantina and many others! It also has nice stores and a large seating area- It’s big. Lots of food and shopping options. I’m traveling with my elderly mom and they did a terrific job getting us from the curb to the gate.
Martin WeigertMay 13, 2017Dedicated ESTA terminals at immigration, which means that those eligible could get through immigration within 10 minutes (I did). Also, United/ANA check baggage through for international transit!
If it's your first time driving in there to drop/pick-up, lay out your strategic battle plan beforehand, or risk being forever lost in this concrete Charlie Foxtrot of roads and sudden passageways.
LMSRAugust 10, 2013Arrived at 9:30pm and all restaurants and food cafes were shutting down. There was only one food stand in terminal B with wraps and a McDonalds. Of course our choice was to get the wraps!
Tobias KemperSeptember 16, 2013Next stop San Francisco? Check https://foursquare.com/tek/list/free-wifi--power-in-san-francisco for a list of places with free Wifi AND power outlets to work from in San Francisco.
If you're in Terminal A get a shoeshine from Clifford. He will deliver one of the best shoeshines you'll ever get, but an even better conversation. Don't forget the tip.
Make sure u always put a empty bag on top of your packed bags. Just in case u have to take something's out for weight. And out all toiletries in zip lock bags
Big airport with lots of food and shopping options. It’s one of the main hubs for United. One may take a while changing terminals!
Janette HJuly 6, 2019Ive been to a LOT of airports, and this one has far and away the friendliest (while still thorough) TSA/security staff ever. I mean I made like 7 friends on my way through Customs kind of friendly.
Put on your walking shoes! There are sky trains that will get you from terminal to terminal that is inside security. There’s also a Disney tram in the basement that is outside of security.
If you're connecting from abroad and have Pre-check/Global Entry, skip the security lines by exiting to the left of the connecting bag area and taking the elevator up to the precheck line.
Lucretia PruittNovember 22, 2014If you want a quiet space to work or just get away from the throngs of people, the D Concourse seems to be ideal. Especially D1
Readiness KNovember 7, 2016If you have the time, go to Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in Terminal E (near gate E4)!
Be sure to allow enough time to actually make your connection. Also wear comfortable shoes because you are still gonna have to run.
Clau HLJanuary 3, 2015Good chinese food near the boarding gate in terminal 1. The staff is super friendly, I felt just a little dizzy and they called the doctor of the airport to come see me 😦
This is a big airport with lots of amenities. Great restaurants if you arrive early or have a long layover. The downer: NO FREE WIFI!
So your flight is delayed, you are beat down, hot, tired and a shower sounds like a god send. Good news showers are available at the United Club in E terminal. The $50 fee for non members is worth it.
Newly renovated terminals offer a great restaurant selection and plenty of seating. Shopping is a bit sparse but has enough nicknack stores to please.
MohammedDecember 26, 2015Huge Airport but very organized, make sure you wear comfortable shoes. 23 miles north of Downtown Houston. The largest hub for United Airlines.
The Real Food Company in Terminal C is some of the best Airport food we've ever had! Lots of fresh, hot selections. Try the Monte Cristo grilled sandwich!
Arthur RimboldOctober 31, 2016The wide amount of amenities and the ease of getting around the five germinal multi hub airport
- The new C terminal extension is state of the art and a totally different experience with connected tablets everywhere for waiting passengers to use. Nice upgrade IAH.
Corey ManiconeAugust 7, 2014Outstanding food here. Try and get some BBQ if you have time in between flights.
Pat TaskerMay 27, 2014Amazingly smooth US Customs check in via new kiosks, that scan your passports, ask you the questions, take your photo then print your form, advance to the customs officer and pass through!
Lots of good food options...I like The Breakfast Klub. If you’re flying United out of terminal A and need to check a bag, you need to go to terminal B to do it.
Travis LibertySeptember 14, 2013It's like a long International boarding process regardless for every size aircraft or destination. I can swear I think United must had hired Southwest to implement their cattle call experience...LOL
Karen JohnsonJuly 21, 2017This is a huge airport, with lots of shops & kiosks & restaurants, including Papadeaux Seafood Restaurant. Terminal E is United Airlines section.
This airport is HUGE - very interesting to see all the many people, restaurants and shops. This airport opened me up to a whole different world.
Delta Airlines has some of the most churlish staff there is. This one in particular has no clue how to talk to customers. It's unreal.
Arrive early and explore the airport! IAH has some great dining and shopping options. Plus, it's always good to account for any unexpected delays or lines.
Kristine RoqueJuly 16, 2013If you're waiting for your flight around the C-43ish gate area, you NEED to go to UpperCrest. They have the BEST fresh baguette sandwiches. No lie. Seriously wish they had one where I lived!
Melissa ThamesAugust 26, 2014If you have the time Pappadeaux is awesome. Seafood is really good, we have even stopped after arriving back home.
Andres ElizondoMarch 17, 2019Definitely an airport that rewards the well-prepared. Make sure your terminals are picked correctly and your entry and exit strategies well tuned.
Flynn JonesFebruary 1, 2019This airport has nice shops and restaurants inside, two priority pass lounges, and it's quick to transfer to other terminals with the sky train. It's solid!
Very clean, open, and bright atmosphere. I always like coming through this airport and getting a coffee and a copy of the New York Times at Starbuck before stepping on the plane.
Adrian PhillipsSeptember 8, 2016Flew United and was a big fan of all the food and beverage options in Terminal 3. There's a great little sushi spot in the older part of the Terminal near the C Gates.
Frank DenbowApril 25, 2015If you are flying on a Saturday make sure it's super early or super late, else you will have a 45 min customs line
I love terminals E and B 12-28 gates area for they have a shopping Galleria Mall kind of stores all over the beautiful facilities.
A HazetJune 4, 2017Typical state airport "the big is beautiful", good but not as artistic as other airport in asia or midlle east. Far from city center & not many option to use public transport #TravelingUS #Texas
Between Terminal C & E there is a food court. In the back, you'll find Pappasitos where you can get AWESOME breakfast and fajitas later in the day. Highly recommend--real local Tex-Mex.
While in the lower numbered C terminal and looking for a diner type atmosphere for breakfast I go to Bubba's for an omelette and coffee.
