    Center bar in terminal C is perfect place to grab a brew and kill some time.

    Get your track shoes on. Connection times are often short and the distance between gates are long.

    Allow some extra time since they create on large line to get into the terminal.

    Plenty of drunks on SWA... Go to Hobby for that... For free peanuts (and pretzels & biscotti) fly Delta.

    Try the fish tacos and abundant electrical outlets at Urban Crave outside of C33. A good find for an airport.

    Terminal B is easy going. Nit many food options but is not crazy crowded and consider it’s summer it went well at least this time.

    Welcome to Texas and my hometown of Houston! If someone is picking you up, head to the "private cars" exit by baggage claim.

    If you have a long layover after midnight— make the way to Terminal E. Every other terminal isn't worth attempting to sleep for your layover. I've tried.

    Terminal B only has fast food, a Chili's (always packed) and shit shops. If you are looking for a mean even resembling something fresh or healthy, just hope you connect via another terminal.

    Pappadeaux in Terminal E is a good spot, but it's a bit pricey. But then again, all airport food is pricey. Affordable healthy-ish option = Shrimp Caesar Salad ($13)

    Go with 3 hours prior to your flight departure. Worst case scenario you’ll enjoy the amenities that IAH can offer.

    United Airlines' barf bags aren't just for show. They seal in flavor and freshness with no leaks. Your secret is safe with United!

    Bring book or mag to pass time and a beverage cuz airlines seem to be cutting back on even basic amenities like drunks and peanuts.

    Have not been here in awhile, they now have trams to take you from terminal B to other areas of airport. Use to have to take a shuttle bus.

    Get the breakfast tacos or burrito at panchitos in terminal B. Ask for it fiesta style and they'll throw on sauteed peppers and onions, no extra charge!

    If you're flying out terminal A south concourse, there is no lounge & no wifi. The food choices are terrible; McDonalds, Starbucks, UNO pizza, Tex Mex, Chilis. Bring your own food & a book!

    In baggage claim A/B: the screen above the desk at the bottom of the escalators will tell you which carousel your luggage is on.

    Turns out when you have a long layover, time goes by real slow. Oh and people stare at you if you're cuddled up sleeping in a corner. It gets awkward.
