    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).

    So your flight is delayed, you are beat down, hot, tired and a shower sounds like a god send. Good news showers are available at the United Club in E terminal. The $50 fee for non members is worth it.

    Amazingly smooth US Customs check in via new kiosks, that scan your passports, ask you the questions, take your photo then print your form, advance to the customs officer and pass through!

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

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

    Arrive early and explore the airport! IAH has some great dining and shopping options. Plus, it's always good to account for any unexpected delays or lines.

    Definitely an airport that rewards the well-prepared. Make sure your terminals are picked correctly and your entry and exit strategies well tuned.

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Cat Cora's Kitchen has great Mediterranean food (even for an airport) and people watching scene - worth the trip if you have a layover

    All of the people who's items were opened up and inspected were picked out and of South Asian decent. Items were thrown out of suitcases and we had to repackage them.

    Always allocate an extra 30 minutes. If you think you are running to close, use the valet parking once you are in the parking area.

    Great service and duty free shops. You can move up and down to other terminals taking "airport shuttle" easily.

    Free wifi and if you're Canadian (without a visa), you can skip right to the express lineup and save you a huge wait!

    Free wifi. Shuttle bus to all major car rent companies takes 3 mins. But it's very cold inside because of AC.

    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 $

    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.

    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 stuck here for a couple of hours, go find Pappadeaux Seafood restaurant. It's a real restaurant with excellent food, a major step above "Chili's to Go".

    The airport is huge, unnecesary custom line when connecting like in all US airports, united liubge is better than in other locations.

    The quickest way between terminals is the train, but if you're not in a rush, it's a surprisingly quick and easy airport to navigate on foot.

    For such a busy airport, IAH is pretty efficient. I don't check bags and like to get picked up at passenger drop-off to save a little time and mix things up a bit!
