I had the misfortune to be stranded at this airport recently after two missed connecting flights…read more Not a great experience and my new travel card for business had not arrived yet so I didn't have many other options. Spending the entire evening and observing what goes on after hours was quite eye-opening for me. I observe firsthand many workers who are on cleaning crews. Many thanks for their hard work because the place was spotless and this airport is huge. There were a few, however, who should probably be evaluated a little bit closer. I was down at C Concourse at gate 22. Spent a couple of hours there and observed at least two or three individuals who were vacuuming floors. You may think I'm exaggerating, but it took one of them almost 20 minutes to uncoil an extension cord. During that time he dropped the cord to the floor several times and spent at least 5 to 8 minutes solid texting someone Over the next hour, this scene repeated itself several times. He would work for 3 to 5 minutes and then take a 5 to 8 minute break. Several coworkers nearby were doing the same thing so things seem to move at a very slow pace mind you, the place did get cleaned ultimately but it makes you wonder how much more could've been done if there had been a higher ratio of work to breaks. The shops and amenities at this airport were amazing and I loved a couple of the restaurants that I tried. Hope to be here in better weather for my next visit.

We left relaxed and ready for our conference. We have decided we should fly through here more often. Spacious and comfortable place.

Everything seem straightforward, and I didn't have to deal with baggage claim delays, which made getting out much faster. The signage was clear enough to follow without confusion, and the flow from the gate to ground transportation was pretty effcient even with other passengers arriving at the same time. Overall a simple and easy arrival back into Houston through terminal E. I would love to get this terminal each time I arrive home. Could be because we had a light passage haul even though we were on a larger craft.

Wow. I haven't flown out of IAH terminal A in several years! Much to…read moremy surprise there were some notable changes. In the lower gate A numbers (A1-A15) they now have 2 new eating restaurants. In addition to the Breakfast Klub (southern breakfast/brunch food), they now have Simone Biles Taste of Gold (American, cocktails) & El Tiempo Cantina (Mexican, cocktails). I'm pretty sure they changed out a few of the fast food restaurants but I honestly didn't look at those. They had live music in the center near Breakfast Klub, in the area they call "Symphony in the Air". The live saxophonist & drummer sounded really great. Another change was the exit to baggage claim. It was surprisingly a much longer walk! From the lower A gates you now must walk all the way around toward the higher gates to get to the baggage claim exit. Its about a 5 min walk to get to the baggage exit/escalators. During this walk through the connector hallway of the lower & higher A gates, there is an Art display area called "Houston Airport Artist in Residence (AIR)". The display from local artist is wonderful to see. The enhancements for terminal A are good. Previously, it always felt like one of the more neglected terminals. I know IAH still has a lot of construction underway. I look forward to seeing additional airport improvements.

There are various direct flights from East Asia, including Tokyo Haneda International Airport, Tokyo Narita International Airport, and Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. There are five terminals, A to E, located in order from A. Each terminal is efficiently connected by trams installed inside and outside the security area called Terminal Link.

A layover brought us back here and it was quiet and not crowded for a Saturday, early evening. As far as US airports go, this was a nice change and a pleasure to fly through. Connecting international flights take extra time to go through passport control, immigration, and recheck bags. Allow extra time for connecting flights. Only downside, hence a deduction of a point is somehow my neck pillow was either stolen or thrown away after going through the security machine. Although there are cameras everywhere, they couldn't find it. All in a matter of minutes. At least all my important items were still there.

The seating around the terminals was pretty poor in my opinion, with the seats being tough and not too padded. I was uncomfortable after sitting for a few minutes and had to walk around to forget about it. There also isn't much seating in some areas so there were a lot of people on the floor or standing very close to those on seats, waiting to snap the seat up if someone left for their flight. I liked that there was a decent variety of places to buy snacks and drinks but the prices were very high so I just filled up my water bottle a few times and had the snacks I packed. Decent airport but one I am glad that is not my home base in terms of when I fly for travel.

I was here a month ago and wires and AC ducts were hanging out of the ceiling. Since, it is like a heck of an upgraded remodel! Terminal D has always been the worst and I guess they took that into consideration for this upgrade to a proper international terminal. It is not finished and they are still working on the proper international gates. Terminal D went from worse to first or close to C1 - C15, the current best. I spoke to the United agent and she said this has only been "finished" for about a week. I didn't deduct three points for the ongoing parking and train mess out front. Please note it continues to be a huge mess and the airport authority has no clue. This isn't being managed well. IAH has more land than almost any other airport. Why don't they use it an establish a train to get to terminals. This is silliness.

Also, Terminal D departure signage can be a more prominent. It's very easy to miss. However, the art work is beautiful and makes for a scenic walk from gate to gate.

Flying Air France - they've got only two bag drop lines and four Sky Priority lines. No machine for bag drop, have to go through an agent so have your boarding pass and passport ready. There is a Pre-check line, and a fast lane for Sky Priority and other high status members. However, even for Pre-check, the scanners are antiquated and you need to remove electronics. I got through security with no issues within 13 minutes, so without Pre-check it might take 20-30. The people handling the bags through the security scanner are not gentle. I left a backpack pocket open and as they tossed the bin, my phone and wallet literally flew out. I also heard my laptop literally bounce in the bin as they tossed it back down. Inside the terminal itself, it is quite nice. There are some comfortable loungers outside the D gates. The KLM Crown Lounge is near D15 and the Air France lounge is down towards D18. Overall, not a great terminal experience to get to and get through.
