Just check in at C.
930 international... Is that the daily non-stop to Calgary? I typically aim to get there 0700-0730, check bags and clear C security with Pre-Check in less than 15 minutes.

All valet and CDE garage was sold out when I booked a couple days ago.

And checking at terminal C was a madhouse this am. Competed chaos at United bag drop.

How are security lines this weekend?

Flying out tomorrow late afternoon. Flight should be out of E. Debating if we want to go to the Am Ex lounge before the flight, which is at D.

Any preference regarding D vs E for security?

Also, I'm 99% sure this flight will depart from E (going to LHR). But the United app currently says C. Is that because that's where we would have to stop to check bags?

I know this wasn't your question but the past few times I've been through thr centurion lounge has been on a waitlist. I've also noticed they've brought in chairs in the hallway so I suspect that it's getting waitlisted more often. I find that interesting as it's always been a lot more chill than a lot of the other locations like Denver & DFW. And yes I realize it's a smaller footprint as well.

Yeah. We expect it might be full. We aren't getting to the airport super early. If we can't get in, that's ok.

I joined the wait-list as I parked in the garage and by the time I got through security using clear and walked to the lounge I was able to walk right in.

Should be able to check bags at C or E but I think the walk over to D is easier from C

That being said, I'd just check which terminal has the least security line and go there. E is generally slower due to the new machines (in my experience)

I'm usually on a layover so I basically do the same as soon as we pull into the gate. Works most times but every once in a while I either take too long and the reservation is expired or I wind up still having to wait an extra 10-15 minutes once I get there.

Went through C pre check this morning and it took about 10 mins at 6:05am. First time I have flown IAH in a while and will continue flying hobby if that remains an option…
