- IAH Airport Overview
Bush Intercontinental Airport IAH is located 23 miles north of downtown Houston--the country's fourth largest City--in Southeast Texas, and is accessible via I-45, Hwy. 59, Hardy Toll Road, and the Sam Houston Toll Road (Beltway 8). The Airport's two main entrances can be accessed by either J.F. Kennedy Blvd (from Beltway 8) or Will Clayton Pkwy (from US 59). Bush Intercontinetal provides the City of Houston and the entire Gulf Coast region with first-class facilities and a wide range of aviation services. A multitude of major airlines offer direct and connecting flights to countless destinations in the U.S. and around the world. The Airport Marriott Hotel is located in the center of the Airport terminal complex (281-443-2310 or 800-228-9290).
Bush Intercontinental Airport consists of five passenger terminals--A, B, C, D, & E--both Terminals E (for Continental flights) and D (for all other flights) are the International Terminals. All Terminals have Wi-Fi Boingo internet access. A new above-ground people mover, the TerminaLink train system, connects Terminals B, C, D & E. All terminals provide food & beverages, shops, newsstands and shoeshine. Terminals D and E also offer currency exchange, while Terminals A, D & E also offer duty-free shops. Movie rental and an interfaith chapel are available in Terminal C, and in-Motion Entertainment in Terminal E. The expanded and relocated 1,200 sq.foot USO facility in Terminal D was reopened and contains a Cyber Café, video gaming stations, entertainment lounge, quiet room, children’s play room, and kitchen. Due to other recent improvements, including new concourses at Terminals A and C, the Houston Airport System has some of the nation's finest terminal facilities. New concourses will soon be added in Terminals B and D. Similar to the ones in A and C, those will have loading bridges that accommodate either domestic or international flights. The automated self-service kiosk serves frequent travelers enrolled in the Global Entry to bypass passport control, customs & Immigration upon their return to the U.S. by simply activating their data at this kiosk.
If you need to pick up a passenger at the Airport, use the Cell Phone Lot ('Passenger Pickup Lot')--stay with your vehicle until your party has gathered luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb. To access the lot, whether you're approaching the airport using John F. Kennedy Boulevard or Will Clayton Parkway, just follow the purple signs to the entrance. The Airport also offers over 25,000 parking spaces--rates are among the lowest in the country. The Terminal A/B Garage is between Terminals A & B. Terminals E & D also have their own garage. Terminal C offers covered parking. There is also an Economy Lot called 'Parking Cents' located at the intersection of JFK Boulevard and Greens Road (the entrance for these vehicles is at the north gate located off JFK Boulevard's feeder road) with free shuttle service to the terminals, which can also accommodate oversized vehicles. A number of Off-Airport parking facilities with courtesy shuttles are also available. All vehicles entering the A/B and Terminal C garages will be searched by security personnel. As an alternative, there is Executive Parking offering private spaces at the exclusive new Executive Parking lot located at the entry point between Terminals C and E (Tel: 281.233.1355). A new payment option is the use of automated EZ TAG to pay for parking, which works just like on toll roads. Obtain your TAG and display it on your windshield.

The Consolidated Rental Car Facility is located on the east side of JFK Blvd, less than 5 minutes from the terminals and accommodates all Rental Car Agencies serving the Airport. A common bus system is now shared by all rental car companies. To get there, follow the Rental Car signage at your arriving terminal and look for the white and maroon buses marked.
To get from the Airport to your destination you have the choice of renting a car, taking a taxi or limo, the SuperShuttle shared-ride service (Tel: 713.523.8888), or scheduled buses/shuttles, courtesy vans, or the METRO transportation: Buses run daily, (5:30am-8pm from downtown and 6:10am-8:40pm from the Airport), leave every half hour, and the non-stop trip from Airport Direct Passenger Plaza, located across from the Downtown Transit Center, takes 30 minutes. For more information on how Metro's Airport Direct can get you to your destination call 713.635.4000 or visit www.ridemetro.org. . Services can take you to your nearby or downtown hotel or wherever your local travel takes you to in the surrounding area. Shuttle service is even available to the Galveston beach area. Most shuttle services are available at the south side of Terminals A, B and C and at the west end of D. Check in the terminal for specific locations. With an eye on the future, the Houston Airport System reserved space for rail right-of-way, which will link Intercontinental with the City. There are plans for a consolidated rental car facility. Parking capacity will be expanded as part of passenger terminal facility upgrades.
