For such a busy airport, IAH is pretty efficient. I don't check bags and like to get picked up at passenger drop-off to save a little time and mix things up a bit!
Hungry at 10:45 pm and all restaurant's cloawd? Food court at middle of Terminal E might still have some availabe

Looking for a fast/easy/cheap way to get downtown? Try Metro Houston Airport Direct. Picks up in Terminal C baggage claim area. Look for the booth at the end of the escalator. Read more
Shannon MoynahanahanJune 18, 2013The TSA were the nicest out of everyone I've talked to. That was before I winked at them in the scanner too.- you can forget how racist people can be until you come here. extra patting down and searching my bags. every. single. time.
Shuttle drop off is at the baggage claim lower level. Take the elevator or escalator up to checkin/security.
Terminal E has the best United Lounge. Always clean, quiet and friendly!
Nic CallahanOctober 9, 2011The bars don't open til 10am on Sunday's. Thanks George. I hated u before I connected to cancun via your airport on my b-day at 7am, but now it's personal. I just want a bloody Mary, g- Larry BronikowskiSeptember 28, 2010Le Grand Comptoir in Terminal C has fabulous salads. They are fresh, tasty, healthy, and nice size portions. I recommend the Vietnemese Shrimp salad or the Provencal.
Ruth MadrigalAugust 15, 2013You can get 30 minutes of complimentary Internet access through Boingo. Just connect to a hotspot and follow the instructions.
Bitchin' AmyMarch 24, 2014Listen for the folks calling "beep,beep!" This is the sound of an approaching cart in the walkways. I guess they couldn't afford horns?
Seriously IAH, you have to think big. You need charging stations with seats around and a bigger & better food court, specially at terminal B
Christina LouiseDecember 23, 2019Take the Skyway to get between terminals, and it also stops at the Marriott.
John KeehlerJune 26, 2013Any airport that makes LGA look clean has issues. Yes, that's used dental floss on the floor.
Mark GonzalesDecember 20, 2010Defeat the the security boss in Terminal C and then dodge the attacking carts and head to gate C-44. Double-jump and you will land on an invisible platform (it's a bug). Jump again for a free powerup!
4rankAugust 25, 2013There's no free wifi at George Bush international airport. Which is another thing the Bush name gets wrong.
Harry MakertiaAugust 2, 2015Clean airport. Try Panda Express if you need fast and a bit spicy Chinese food.
If you are arriving on an international flight brace yourself for long lines at immigration and customs. Expect 1 to 2 hour processing time.
Michael RamasNovember 16, 2011Big place, lots of gates and terminals, just make sure to read the signage and never forget to ask questions if unsure. There's a lot of gate changes that happens.
If you're flying UA mainline between 6am-12pm: avoid the disaster that is the C checkpoint and head up the stairs to the E checkpoint - eons faster, even for elites!
Looks like they have nice food options here. I only see them running by since United only allows 30 mins between many connections.
Marko IlicMay 2, 2019No ATM on terminal C and if YOU want to buy a ticket for Metro Bus you need to go to terminal E. But look that you have exactly change one dollar and 25 cents. This is America ...
Texans need to spend all that oil money and make a new and bigger airport. As much as air traffic they get they really need a bigger and better airport.
- Joe ChuOctober 15, 2016Walking between terminal could take a bit of time. Make sure you allow about 15-20 min of walk
EvelynDecember 8, 2013Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking quite a bit. Not many choices for breakfast in Terminal B. I can't believe the McDonald's there has no breakfast menu.
The "1 stop inspection" program is for passengers with carry-ons only or transiting internationally. Skip lines at immigration and no need to claim and recheck bags. Thumbs up! See pic for sticker
Erika FinnimoreMarch 19, 2018The Spirit Airlines check in desk is a mess. Definitely check in online at least an hour before your flight and carry on to bypass.
Elena Martinez-BaudritJanuary 3, 2015Good thing? Free wifi. Very 'user friendly', just find the maps. Bad thing? Restrooms are filthy
Get used to hearing, "Excuse the cart, please!" And be sure to move out of the way when you hear it or risk getting run over.
Alberto J S Moreau DOctober 12, 2018I liked a lot this airport, it looks like brand new, sorry that I just went from one gate to another on a cart, no time to do anything
It's crazy when you just have enough time to catch your next flight get. Restaurants are good but had to pass them by😉
Joy AsicoJanuary 22, 2014Avoid the long security lines in terminal C and go through terminal E!! There is a walkway heading back to all the other terminals and terminal C is just next door. Saves you lots of time!
Terminal C Pre-✅ cannot be beat! No longer is Terminal E the best place to check-in and go through security.
Mariana CampeloJanuary 4, 2015Free wifi. Few dining options, you can try the burger joint Ruby's (terminal E), it's pretty good.
Michelle MurrellMarch 17, 2017Heading home from Vegas.It was a long week but we had so much fun celebrating my cousins 50th Birthday
Power outlets, great food, and drinks at 3rd Bar in Concourse B.
Yvonne OsagueSeptember 22, 2014The African American lady at the McDonald's register in terminal A is always grumpy. Omg, way to start a morning huh!!
If you haven't been to terminal B lately...you're in for a pleasant surprise!!! Skip the food choices when going through security if you're going to gates 31 and below.
Kylie JayOctober 3, 2014Watch out for the little passenger buggy things. They come up from behind while you're walking
United bases their 787 aircraft out of this airport only and currently uses it mostly on flights to/from Los Angeles LAX
Jorge Lara-GutierrezJuly 6, 2013For international travelers in terminal B in the chairs by the bayou city travel market you can find free wifi
