Davin ChuaJanuary 24, 2020Big airport, so prepare lots of walk. Food here are quite expensive tooUpvote1Downvote
This place needs a decent bar or restaurant. For a city with as much industry as Houston, the airport is surprisingly feeble. Burgers, pizza, and snack food: that's all that's offered.Upvote7Downvote
- 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.UpvoteDownvote
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 layoverUpvote3Downvote
When you come to the domed intersections between terminals, look up & say something - it's an #echo chamber!

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.UpvoteDownvote
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!UpvoteDownvote
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.UpvoteDownvote
Only place to get craft beer is Chili's in A (st Arnold's in bottle) and 3rd Bar and Eating House in BUpvoteDownvote
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"UpvoteDownvote
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 rightUpvoteDownvote
Jose Antonio Tena SendraNovember 27, 2015First airport i have been in that actually has a good free Wifi conection. Great Jobs Houston airports!!!Upvote1Downvote
This is a much better home airport than it is a connecting airport or final destination. Pros: affordable parking, destinations. Cons: Rental Car facility distance, making quick connectionsUpvoteDownvote
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!UpvoteDownvote
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.UpvoteDownvote
I love the Bush Airport compared to so many others.Upvote1Downvote
Great lounge options at IAH. It even has a centurion lounge for Amex customers. https://thecenturionlounge.com/UpvoteDownvote
In my personal opinion, one of the best airport to stay in transit. Food is great. ;-)UpvoteDownvote
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.Upvote1Downvote
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.UpvoteDownvote
Hyun Ku KangJanuary 2, 2015Great service and duty free shops. You can move up and down to other terminals taking "airport shuttle" easily.UpvoteDownvote
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. #FlyBenefitUpvoteDownvote
Improvements continue to be made - including Hard Rock Cafe in terminal B and a nice food court with options in terminal C.UpvoteDownvote
The KLM lounge in Terminal D is the only one accessible for Priority Pass Select members. Worth the trip over on a layover.UpvoteDownvote
If this is your first time be careful and read the signs to reach your tournament.

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.UpvoteDownvote
Take a look around terminals. Hopefully, you'll find some good food or a souvenir. Enjoy your flight!UpvoteDownvote
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.UpvoteDownvote
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.Upvote1Downvote
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 wayUpvoteDownvote
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.UpvoteDownvote
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!UpvoteDownvote
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.UpvoteDownvote
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".UpvoteDownvote
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.UpvoteDownvote- 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.UpvoteDownvote
Leila de PapeMarch 27, 2018If you are stucked in Terminal E for a while, take the train to Terminal C for more shopping facilitiesUpvote1Downvote
Spacious airport with a lot of great dining options ... especially BBQ.UpvoteDownvote
Have a meal before you fly. It'll be tastier and more nutritious than anything they serve in the air.UpvoteDownvote
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!

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 11aUpvote2Downvote
Maya ByrneJanuary 9, 2018Lots of food choices with screens at the seats. Lounges close relatively early so check the schedules.UpvoteDownvote
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.Upvote3Downvote
It’s a huge airport so make sure you allow yourself plenty of timeUpvote1Downvote
