We are coming from Costa Rica with a 1 hr layover before catching a flight to San Francisco. Am I reading it correct in the previous posts, that that will not be enough time due to security checks in Houston???

Beware flying into Houston if you need to clear customs. The wait can be as long as two hours. Customs officials are indifferent as to whether you make your flight or not, generally rude and over worked. There were more customs officers working at 11 pm in Calgary Alberta than in the fifth busiest airport in North America. Shame on them and I try to avoid connections in Houston if possible

Arrived 1 1/2 hrs early to get through security. We realized we weren't going to get on our plane and no TSA would help us, Not even the manager. They delayed our stay longer when they went through every item of clothing in my small carry on bag. Even tested my 3 oz saline solution. Missed my flight and had to stay in Denver for 6 HOURS. Thanks a lot. Guy with Dreads under a cap ( Like Cat in the Hat). Needs to have an attitude adjustment, Better yet another job.

I fly through IAH on a regular basis, however in the dozens of times I have been there the terminal map bins have always been empty - never a map to be found anywhere. There does not seem to be any large central maps (at least none that I have found). When on a long layover and trying to find a place to eat or rest, the information people simply direct you to the empty map bin. (not much help). The website (www.ifly.com) does give some information, however none of the online content is printable in a useful form. The airport has lots of amenities, just good luck finding them.

My party of 11 arrives in Houston on July 12 on United flight 1283 from Charlotte at 8:07 am. We are scheduled to depart on United flight 1032 (formerly COPA 1932) at 8:45 am only 38 minutes later. What gate do we arrive at and from what gate do we leave? Is 38 minutes enough time to make the change?

I was just in terminal A at IAH after a very long day of travel. I tried to use the restroom and there was a lady doing clean up. I stood outside waiting for her to finish, patiently. When she came to the door she said I would have to go elsewhere I explained to her that I couldn't walk that far. She rudely said that was my problem. I would like to file a complaint against this unneccesarily rude employee.

No reason for the delay?!?

I have experienced items removed from from bags that has been checked in at IAH a couple of times. Found out when arriving in Eroupe on various destinations. Lately a collague experienced items missing upon arrival in Europe.

We only have one hr between flights. my wife is handicapped. we arrive at terminal B and leave on an international flight from terminal E. We have made arrangements for a wheelchair. Any thoughts from frequent users of Houston Intercontinenatl on best way to make the connection?

The airport needs to look at the way they move travelers through immigration and back to the domestic terminals. We were in your airport on Saturday, January 14th. Our flight was due to arrive around 5PM and we arrived early which gave us over 2 hours to make our connection. Moving through customs was just OK. However, once we got to security, it was very busy and there were several travelers who had very short connection times. 2 young gentlemen (different times) tried to move up in line and, for the most part travelers were very sympathetic and wanting to help them get through security. Two of your employees saw them and started yelling - and I mean yelling - to go to the end of the line. They were rude and very insulting. The crowd said; let him go through. They continued arguing with everyone and were quite obnoxious (especially the woman). One of these travelers was trying to make his connection to Australia! Now, I understand that there were probably many who had very short connections and these employees were just trying to do their job, however, I was embarrassed to be from this country as I watched their assertion of "power" over the group. Had I witnessed this in another country, I would think twice before ever coming back. As we watched this all happen, and we were on the side of those with short connections, we saw anyone in a wheel chair or with a cane, allowed to go to the front of the line. At least 6 wheel chairs plus a family of 6 who was traveling with a gentleman with a cane all got in front of our line as we were just getting to the front of the line, THEN a group of about 10 flight attendants came and moved to the front of our line - those brash employees were very "sweet" to the attendants! Why can't you have 2 extra lines - one for wheel chairs and flight attendants and one for those with short connections - 45 min or less. You can check their boarding passes! If the lines are slow, you can pull from the other lines to keep them busy. You will make this a much more enjoyable experience for everyone by adding this policy, especially during your busy times. After our experience, I will do my best to avoid this airport in the future.

I will land on houston at 5:05 from doha via qatar airways and have connecting flight ot milwaukee via continental at 6:55. is 1 hr and 50 minutes enough to go through immigration, baggage claim and recheck, moving from terminal D to terminal B and catch a connecting flight? Does qatar airways arrives in time? i've heard that they are always delayed by 25 mins oe so.

arrive from london on bmi/continental 6105 and depart sacramento on continental 1015 which gives a 2 hour layover - is this enough time to claer customs, re-check bags and make connection?

where do we pick up dogs that have arrived internationally

I will arriving at Treminal B and then Departing From Terminal E. I have a 1hour 29 minute layover will I have enough time to walk to terimal E?

Great airport! Clean, bright, well marked, excellent tram system. My connecting flights to and from Lima, Peru were on time and I had no problems getting through customs and security. Note: If you have one hour or less to make your connection, don't stump your toe. You've got enough time but only just.
