Flew out of Terminal D on Tuesday night. Security was a shot show and it wasn't even crowded - can't imagine how bad it would be due on a busy day. The new wing of D is nice.

Landed at Heathrow. Total time standing in line to go through passport control - 45 seconds. That is not a typo. Sure wish Houston would be so good when we return but it won't (and I'm Global Entry)

Sucks a little bit because you have to walk around the building at B due to construction, but still better than going anywhere near the C garage, IMO. Just did it a couple days ago and was fine.

Flying IAH to CDG via EWR this morning through terminal E.

Uber driver decided to drop us off at C; however, time through security to first mimosa at the E United club was 12 minutes. No one in line at C's TSA security check point.

No checked bag.

I think that is because you still cant be dropped off or picked up at E thanks to construction. I may be wrong though.

I'm pretty confident in that as well, at least that's what I told the wife when she wanted lambast the Uber driver.

One note of good(ish) news about the new machines at the garages. I parked at CDE garage last week and the machine couldn't read the QR code on my phone to enter. I was in a hurry so I took a ticket and went on in to park. When I needed to exit, I inserted the ticket and then was able to scan the QR code to exit. This is a big step up from before when I've had to flag down a disinterested employee who then had to fill out a hand written paper slip before they'd let me leave.

I had a 6:45PM flight on Monday and traffic wasn't too bad on the C/D/E side, but as always I think it's just a crapshoot

Like an idiot we booked a flight for our son back to school the Sunday night of Thanksgiving Weekend. Took two hours to drop him off. 30 minute commute and last 2 miles took 90 minutes.

Thankfully we were expecting it to be a nightmare so he got there in plenty of time, but there were several people just jumping out of cars and running down the road with their luggage.

In December, I'm flying to Bali with a layover in Dubai, how do I avoid the Taliban in our Afghani airport? Been a while since I have flown international.
What airline? If you are flying United, check in and clear security at B, then ride the train to the terminal you are flying from. If it is an airline only going out of CDE, you might just have to bite the bullet and go early. You could get dropped off at B and ride the Disney train in the basement over to your terminal, but with as slow as that train is, you might not save any time.


Quatar, so its D. Thinking I'll just park in cheapo parking and ride the tram. Sounds better than what y'all are describing.

All the way to Paris with no checked bag, that's some light travel...

I'm in France now and flew from IAH to Heathrow last Thursday through terminal C. Took maybe 10 minutes to get through.
