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.
Not a bad airport. Looks like it can use some updating. More comfortable seating and more plugs. Food venues are ok but would like to see more local flair sit down establishments.
If you are flying United domestic our of terminal C and have to return a rental car with lots of luggage. Swoop past the curbside checkin first and then drop off the rental car.
Make sure you take a picture of your parking information in the parkinggarage (located on a nearby column) to help you out when you get back from your trip!

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!
Avoid 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!
Defeat 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!
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!
Le 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.
If you are using Super Shuttle, check in as quickly as you can. They put you in queue for a driver and it can take as long as 30 mins. Trust me, I learned from sad experience.
No 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 ...
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.
Big 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.
