Meghan LockhartMarch 25, 2013Cat Cora's Kitchen has great Mediterranean food (even for an airport) and people watching scene - worth the trip if you have a layover
Only place to get craft beer is Chili's in A (st Arnold's in bottle) and 3rd Bar and Eating House in B
Compared to others, it doesn't have enough signs to keep you on track. For instance, when you disembark the plane, & you're looking for baggage claim, there's no sign to help you turn left or right
Jessika ChabotMarch 1, 2015Free wifi and if you're Canadian (without a visa), you can skip right to the express lineup and save you a huge wait!
When you come to the domed intersections between terminals, look up & say something - it's an #echo chamber!
New game: Count the TSA Agents - count the number of agents vs the number that are doing NOTHING. You may know this game as "Tax Dollars at Work"
Jose Antonio Tena SendraNovember 27, 2015First airport i have been in that actually has a good free Wifi conection. Great Jobs Houston airports!!!
Rick MercadoJuly 1, 2011Passenger-laden carts careen through each terminal with speeds normally reserved for jets. Listen for the loud, if half-hearted warning shouts by cart drivers to prevent certain doom while ambling by.
Manon LavoieMarch 27, 2014When dropping someone, park at the day off site garages for $4 instead of the airport garage. It saves money and the aggravation of driving in airport traffic.
The BikeNomadJanuary 4, 2015In Emirates a backpack with laptop is not considered a laptop bag but a cabin luggage. It would be better to carry just one bag. Sometimes you get lucky and they check in your 2nd cabin luggage.
Lucy AmarilloOctober 26, 2015Papa it as was a great place for breakfast burritos. $4.00 and if you have a military ID you get a diacount!
Make sure u also have either a bright bag tag to identify your bags at baggage claim and yiur name in everything. Easier to track u down that way
Great lounge options at IAH. It even has a centurion lounge for Amex customers. https://thecenturionlounge.com/
Hyun Ku KangJanuary 2, 2015Great service and duty free shops. You can move up and down to other terminals taking "airport shuttle" easily.
Take a look around terminals. Hopefully, you'll find some good food or a souvenir. Enjoy your flight!
Ann OsipovaJune 13, 2017Free wifi. Shuttle bus to all major car rent companies takes 3 mins. But it's very cold inside because of AC.- If departing out of concourse C and running late, go through the E concourse instead. There is almost never a wait and has saved me today and other days. Once through security take tram or walk to C.
In my personal opinion, one of the best airport to stay in transit. Food is great. ;-)
Improvements continue to be made - including Hard Rock Cafe in terminal B and a nice food court with options in terminal C.
Benefit CosmeticsAugust 7, 2013Did the TSA raid your makeup bag, gorgeous? Benefit to the rescue! Come see our instant beauty rescue vending machine near Terminal D/E. #FlyBenefit
Normen StrobelDecember 14, 2014Don't show up late, you won't make it through the TSA line. Get there early and grab something to eat at Papadeaux's Seafood.
Marta ValdesMarch 3, 2014If you're stuck here all night prepare. No wifi. The only market opens runs out of food. All the seats have bars so you can't lie down and they have country music blasting all night long.
Best way to check-in for B Gates is to go through Security at the A Terminal, Security line is shorter, you can grab a drink at Starbucks after Security, & then take Inter-Terminal Train to B Gates.
Business traveler power move: if you're flying United Express and qualify for TSA precheck, use terminal C and take train over to B to save time. Bonus: better food choices in C than in B.
M AmourJune 3, 2016Welcome to Texas! If you're unlucky you could get caught in seriously long queues. Otherwise, friendly and functional.
before flying out if I have a morning flight (and enough time), I always have biscuits and gravy with fried chicken at popeyes. Great way to say goodbye to the south!
Always allocate an extra 30 minutes. If you think you are running to close, use the valet parking once you are in the parking area.
If this is your first time be careful and read the signs to reach your tournament.
The quickest way between terminals is the train, but if you're not in a rush, it's a surprisingly quick and easy airport to navigate on foot.
The KLM lounge in Terminal D is the only one accessible for Priority Pass Select members. Worth the trip over on a layover.
If you're stuck here for a couple of hours, go find Pappadeaux Seafood restaurant. It's a real restaurant with excellent food, a major step above "Chili's to Go".- Want to escape? Follow Texas Senator and smarmy dude, Ted Cruz, non-stop to Cancun!
The train between terminals is sfun lol. Its like being in a kiddie ride at Disney world as it zig zags thru the tracks literally.
Leila de PapeMarch 27, 2018If you are stucked in Terminal E for a while, take the train to Terminal C for more shopping facilities
If you're on continental, And check in at terminal C, but your gate is in E, don't walk from C security, take the escalator next to it for the shortcut to E, open from 5a til 11a
Spacious airport with a lot of great dining options ... especially BBQ.
Debbie Pekar SaballosApril 21, 2016NO where to charge electronics. The few charging stations had lines of people waiting to charge their phones. No wall outlets because they think the few charging stations are enough?! Ridiculous!
Cassie SchelldorfJanuary 24, 2014The airport is split into quads: North, South, East, and West. Family/friend passenger pick up in at the North Entrance.
It’s a huge airport so make sure you allow yourself plenty of time
Maya ByrneJanuary 9, 2018Lots of food choices with screens at the seats. Lounges close relatively early so check the schedules.
All of the people who's items were opened up and inspected were picked out and of South Asian decent. Items were thrown out of suitcases and we had to repackage them.
Tavo DeObalSeptember 6, 2016The airport is huge, unnecesary custom line when connecting like in all US airports, united liubge is better than in other locations.
Terminal B is 1/2 way through renovation. Get there a tad early because you need to access gates after security through a large gate 30 min prior to boarding. P.S. no Restrooms or sitting area though.
ATTENTION ALL VISITORS: When in terminal E, you must eat at Pappasitos. Anything else is a blatant insult to this city of delicious food.
