IAH Terminal Connections | iFlyer Forum

Flight numbers at IAH are only posted for the present day. However, note that United serves Terminals A, B, C & international Terminal E. Look at your ticket (and on overhead screen on arrival) to see which terminal & gate you arrive / depart from: TA has gates A1-30; TB gates 60-88; TC gates C14-45; TE gates E1-24. If arriving at gates C29-45 you can walk to TE by walking towards gates C14-24 and proceeding straight to TE. The above-ground TerminaLink train connects all terminals inside security. 55 mins is enough time.

1. The above-ground TerminaLink train connects all terminals inside security. 2. Continental has officially merged with United, using the United name now.

January 2012 has gone - January 2013 is far away. Much can change until then.

After arriving at IAH at Terminal A, follow signs to the above-ground TerminaLink train which connects all terminals inside security. Yu have plenty of time.

its me again Max: the flights are all united airlines flights, so the bags should be check direct to the final destination

1 As an international arrival at IAH, you will be processed at the The International Arrivals building (part of TE), accessible from both TE and TC, with separate US Customs. Arriving passengers go through customs & take the escalator down to Baggage Claim Level 1. From there they go through Exit Control and enter to the right the baggage recheck area, and straight out arrive at the International Arrivals Lobby - this area also has an escalator down to the inter-terminal train serving Terminals A, B & C. There is also a tunnel to Terminal D. (Terminals A, B & C are domestic terminals). 55 mins is very tight!

Thanks for your quick answer. so as an international arrival you will always be processed by customs and go through exit control, correct? And then went all the way down through the baggage claims to get back to terminal E, were we started? No transit areas or some like that for direct connections to an other destination?

1. At IAH, United uses Terminals A (TA) (gates A1-30; TB (gates B60-88) & TC (gates C14-45. Look at your ticket to see which gate you arrive at/ depart from. Qatar uses TD (gates D1-12) If you arrive at C gates there is a connection between gates C14-C24 to gates D1-3. Your time is sufficient. You can also take the above-ground TerminaLink train which connects all terminals inside security.

1. You will be processed at at IAH Airport in the International Arrivals building (part of TE), where you go through customs & take the escalator down to Baggage Claim Level 1. From there you go through Exit Control and enter to the right the baggage recheck area, and straight out arrive at the International Arrivals Lobby, where you take the escalator down to the inter-terminal train, to Terminal C - there you need to go through security check again before proceeding to your connecting gate. One hr is very tight - hurry.

1. Terminal C of Houston Intercontinental has gate areas east, where gates C14-24 connect to Terminal D gates 1-3; (TC also has west gates C29-45, which only connect to Terminal E). 2. The above-ground TerminaLink train connects all terminals inside security.

On arrival at IAH you need to be processed at the the International Arrivals building (part of TE)which can be accessed from both TE and TC, with separate US Customs.

You arrive at Terminal E and depart most likely from Terminal C, which has gates C14-24 east & C29-45 west. These gates are also connected by walkway to Terminal E. Since United & Continental are now merged into "United", your connecting flight could also be at TA or TB (check your ticket and on arrival check your flight number and gate of departure. An hour is enough time to transfer.

Thanks very much!

As international arrival at IAH, you will be processed in the International arrivals building, which is part of Terminal E (and also accessible from TC). Arriving passengers go through customs & take the escalator down to Baggage Claim Level 1. From there they go through Exit Control and enter to the right the baggage recheck area, and straight out arrive at the International Arrivals Lobby -which has an escalator down to inter-terminal train to Terminals A, B & C - depending on your connecting airline to Canada. You have plenty of time.

Your international arrivals procedure takes at least 35-45 mins. Add another 15 mins to get to your connecting terminal & gate; 1 hour is way too short. This is what you have to do when arriving at IAH: The International Arrivals building (part of TE)at IAH can be accessed from both TE and TC, with separate US Customs. Arriving passengers go through customs & take the escalator down to Baggage Claim Level 1. From there they go through Exit Control and enter to the right the baggage recheck area, and straight out arrive at the International Arrivals Lobby and the Exits. This area also has an escalator down to train, Terminals A, B & C and the tunnel to Terminal D, the International Arrivals Lobby & Passenger Greeting Area. You need to look at your ticket and on arrival at the overhead screens to find your departing flight and gate. Then take the below-ground inter-terminal train to your connecting terminal, go through security check & on to your gate.

Continental & United are in several terminals - you need to look at your ticket to see which terminal you arrive / depart from. This is the gate layout of the terminals and their respective airlines: Terminal A (TA) A gates (Air Canada, Alaska, American, Continental, Delta, US Airways) have gates A1-15 & A17-30. TB's B gates (Continental) have 4 gateways at each of its corners, leading to gates 60-66, 68-75, 76-83 & 84-88. TC's TC gates (Continental, United) are divided into east gates C14-24 & west gates C29-45 . TD's D gates (AeroMexico, AirFrance, British, Emirates, KLM, Lufthansa, Qatar, Singapore, TACA, VivaAerobus) are opposite TE and have gates D1-3 (with a connection to C14-C24) and D4-12. TE's E gates (United/ Continental) have one one side gates E12-24, on the opposite side E1-11. If arriving at gates C29-45 and transferring to Terminal E: walk towards gates C14-24 and proceed straight on to TE. Note that the above-ground TerminaLink train connects all terminals inside security.

1. I find no COPA listing at IAH site - it might be operated by another airline? 2. United arrives in Terminal C, which is divided into east C14-24 and west gates C29-45 and connects at gate area to TE. Presuming your COPA flight departs from either the International Terminals D or E, you can take the above-ground TerminaLink train connecting all terminals inside security. If arriving at gates C29-45 and transferring to Terminal E: walk towards gates C14-24 and proceed straight on to TE. Gates D1-3 of Terminal E connect to gates C14-2. 38 mins is extremely tight.

You say you have a connection at Houston Intercontinental to Portland - I assume you arrive and IAH from another airport, as a domestic arrival (if international arrival you would have to spend at least 45 mins for customs procedures). Note that you can only have one carry-on per ticketed passenger (including your 2-year-old - if he/she will occupy a paid seat). At your original departure airport, make sure that the bags you may check in have all three airport codes on their tags so that they automatically arrive in Portland. That said, on arrival in Terminal B, take the above-ground TerminaLink train which connects the terminals inside security. Follow signs. You can make it timewise!

Thank you, We are flying from Richmond (VA); I wasn't sure how we could make that connection and was beginning to get paranoid. As the map showed it's quite a distance. I wasn't sure if it was going to be possible to make the connection in such a short time frame. Thank you for your help!

The above-ground TerminaLink train at IAH connects all terminals inside security. Terminal A has gates A1-15 & A17-30; Terminal C has gates C14-24 east and C29-45 west. (You are correct regarding Terminal A & C). You have plenty of time!
