    Those global entry kiosks really make life easy, oh, btw, there's a Whataburger in Terminal B, take the train and get yourself a Texas burger.

    This is a great airport. All the people are honest and kind. Need proof? Once I left my phone in a toilet stall and someone mailed it back to me. No further questions your honor.

    Relax @ le grand comptoir: my husband thinks the food is ropey & the wine is pedestrian, but I think the atmosphere & wine are lovely! Have a glass of sparkling to feel like royalty before you fly!

    Welcome to Texas! If you're unlucky you could get caught in seriously long queues. Otherwise, friendly and functional.

    Still one of my favorite connection airports. Much easier to maneuver than Atlanta or Charlotte. One of 4 airports that Baton Rouge connects in and out of.

    Recommended: If you've just travelled from Chicago and you have a son called Kevin, then please make sure that he's with you. If not, he's probably in NY fending off burglars at your house.

    Good airport, friendly staff. United lounge by gate C is great. From the UK watch out if you need to take money out as the ATMs aren't compatible with UK chip and pin cards.

    My mother has bad knees and can't walk long and the people here have been lovely and helpful. We got a ride all the way from our check in to the gate and help through security.

    In case you are desperate for nail polish, there is an Essie vending machine at terminal C, 33A. There's also Benefit cosmetics and Kindle machines.

    If you are looking for a great, open, public lounge with comfortable seating and plenty of power outlets, head towards gates near "The Fruteria"!

    Plenty of good restaurants and stores in Terminal E. If you have a long layover between flights, worth taking the tram to Terminal E to check it out (if you're not flying out of Terminal E already).

    If u are heading on vacation and want to get some drinks at the airport. Go on ebay and get a presidents club pass. You can get two for about $46. We all know airport drinks cost $

    huge airport. you have to take a little train between terminals so a short layover has the potential to be stressful. there are lots of good food options

    Expansive international airport in Houston. Can be very busy. Houston Hobby is a much faster airport in comparison. Southwest doesn't hub here.

    When you check in at terminal C for United/ Continental flights you will most likely have to take the airport train to go to terminal B. Make sure to leave extra time for check in and transportation!

    If Flying with united - come early - long lines even at 5am. Kiosk check in only for those who travel with carry on only. Of traveling domestic - use curbside: less people and faster check in.

    If you have time go check out Pappadeux's Seafood in Terminal E. Killer Cajun fare, with a great lunch Buffett from 10-3pm.

    A newly opened Terminal B is such a huge upgrade from an old dump trailer park terminal! A nice job! Only wish the indoor temp is 5 deg warmer! FREEZING!

    As much as I hate to admit it I like this airport. Easy to get around and in my experience flights run on time. Never started here, always been a layover.

    No PreCheck available coming from international connections! It can be faster to exit the airport, re-enter and do PreCheck at Terminal D.

    If you're in Terminal A, you can comfortably show up about 5 minutes before boarding time and be at the gate right on time to board.

    In terminal b they don't use the PA system. Get to your gate early and stand as close to the door as possible if you don't want to miss your flight. Also, united overbooked every flight.

    Most overused phrase here, "Watch the cart, cart coming through, watch the cart!" -- sometimes with a please. Really a lot of idiots...I hope they hit someone and have a huge payout. Reckless people!

    Agreed with Heather: tacos (pork and beef) and margs are where it's at from Mango Truck. Fun and yum.

    This is a much better home airport than it is a connecting airport or final destination. Pros: affordable parking, destinations. Cons: Rental Car facility distance, making quick connections

    Let grand comptoir in terminal C is only place that will serve breakfast after 10am and on sunday😄. Plus you can piggyback WiFi from United club.

    Boingo Wireless offered here for a price, but Google Play is offering a promotion giving you 45 minutes FREE! And you can keep signing in after time is up. Do it.

    This place needs a decent bar or restaurant. For a city with as much industry as Houston, the airport is surprisingly feeble. Burgers, pizza, and snack food: that's all that's offered.
