Houston Airport System

Houston Scene is back a Lack Cracking. Big Ups

No stars. The Worst. Had a connecting flight here. Arrived 30 min early yet still missed the next flight only because the line up for custom and security was extremely disorganized; 2.5 hours wait. I have expressed that I have connecting flight in an hour then again in 30 min then again in 20 min, asking for help. NO BODY was willing to help. The attitude of all the airport staff I have encountered was not friendly and not helpful. I have been to Miami airport thinking this is that’s a dumb airport. Even in Bahamas, at least they were willing to help. HOUSTON airport is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.

0 Stars.
This city, first of all, is trash.
But worst of all, it’s a complete pain in the ass to leave this place. NO public transportation that’s worth a snear to get anywhere near either airport. No trusty cab service tradition. NOTHING to fall back on if you have an early morning flight and dont’ have somebody that owes you an arm and a leg and will drive you to the airport.
Houston: If you aren’t married with kids and «loving it» you’re f@cked.
oughtta be a bumper sticker.

It’s so big. So many terminals. Lots of newspaper stands, last minute shopping for souvenirs, food places and coffee places. Bathrooms are clean. Seats for waiting for flights are comfortable.

I hate this airport… too big and too many people. They always change my gate and I have to walk across the airport

Dirty Dirty Dirty… How hard is it to vacuum. There are ads touting the low unemployment rate in Houston, pay some folks to clean.

In and out of IAH several times since my last review. The airport is easy to get around whether you are traveling or just picking up or dropping off. And again, the fifth star may come if they ever finish the construction, or if they make Lee Rd. at least two lanes leaving the airport.

Most parts of this airport are quite nice!
However, Terminal B is always so, so dirty. One area always trash on the floor and the floor is just gross. I understand that airports are busy but it is a bit much!

Terminal A is the way to go! Short lines and quick walks. No problems here.

Fair for an airport. Baggage Claim area is confusing, otherwise not complaints or promotions.

Better than many airports I have been in. Good food available, walking distances no too bad, fast lane at TSA now, Global entry lane. All they really need is to do like Salt Lake City and add signs giving the flight status in the cell phone lot.

As far as airports go, this one is pretty darn good. Clean, easy to navigate, not over-​filled with people (traveling on a Monday). Seems like it has one moving walkway per wing which is always nice if you are in a hurry. I landed in terminal A and walk to terminal E in about 5 minutes.

I have been avoiding this airport for a very, very long time. But alas, I ended up at this place during a 2 hour layover. Food choices were very good and variable. The airport itself seemed very functional, spacious, and clean. Best part of all… no large groups of grumpy poeple with cancelled flights filling the air with crankiness.

This is actually a pretty great airport. There are plenty of stores (coach!), and tons of food options. People are friendly enough and it’s got a nice design so getting to and from gates is pretty painless. I was here with a connecting flight so I’m not sure how easy the lines for security and ticketing are.

I feel like this place is a mess… traveling in and out of the midwest is easily done thru IAH, navigating thru IAH isnt always easy.
I refuse to use any naming association with former president you know who… Intercontinental sounds better.
Its a bit of a jumble here but the train makes for a quick transition from one concourse to the next and in some cases you can take walking short cuts.
Watch out for the crazy people driving the golf carts… holy shit they are nuts!

Awesome airport with lots of food options. Way better than LAX!!!

Really good. It’s a bit confusing and the carts always feel like they are going to run you over, but not too difficult.

There’s a bit of confusion on Unilocal about the airports here in Houston. There is a review for Hobby, a review for the «system» which features reviews from both airports, and this one, which has the right address for IAH, which is the review I want to write (G.H.W. Bush Airport).
The central area away from the spokes of the gates has a great selection of sensible shops, like Fossil, and delicious stops like Shipley Do-​Nuts, which is a Houston institution.
Ordered a strawberry jelly-​filled donut, a chocolate glazed donut, and a jalapeño cheese kolache. That plus a pint of milk for about $ 6. It was clear the donuts were made for the 24 hour cycle of an airport, and as such, were not as fresh as I would have liked, but it was still delicious.
