Leaving Hobby and parking at the terminal is a complete cluster. All the pay terminals are down and gate agents no longer have access to open the gates, they have to now press the call button on each and go through some call center to open the gate. 15 minutes sitting at the gate. They said the city is making them do it that way

interesting. I arrived Hobby at 4:30 on Friday. No lines at terminal parking exit and all machines worked just fine.
Flying United out of terminal E tomorrow but the United App is telling me to go through security in terminal C. I don't have any checked bags.
Do I really need to go through C or can I just go straight to E and go through security?

I might be wrong, but pretty sure there is no E security entrance right now due to construction. You need to go to either C or B.
Yeah, you can't get to E at all unless you are connecting through from an international city (I think). Go to B/C/D and take the train or walk it to EWES2006AG said:

Glad I asked. Thanks for letting me know. Guess I will go through C and take the train over to E.

Pretty sure that will take longer than just walking.
But you can also go through D and boom you're there.
Yeah I'd walk from C or D, train from B. B will likely have the shortest security linebigjag19 said:WES2006AG said:

Awesome, would prefer to walk anyways. This type of info is why I am here.bigjag19 said:WES2006AG said:

just walk. And there is still a possibility your flight gate gets changed to C - happens all the time with United.
Every time I see this thread title I crack up. This must be the most overly dramatic thread title in the history of this board.
I think we both know that's not true.
Took the wife and kids to Terminal C today at 5:00 and it was a breeze! Could not believe it went so smoothly.
There is a Pappadeaux at IAH.
The Pappadeaux at Hobby shut down.
I once had Pappadeaux at IAH on my way back from vacation.

Has C gotten better during normal hours?
I've been a valet park at B guy for years, but now that is even messed up so I've been valet-ing at A and train.
When it's just a carry on not a big deal, but dragging stuff on the underground Johnny cab sucks.

did I miss a thread that compared HEB to Fallujah?

You're thinking of the "Baytown Buc-ee's is literally a Wuhan wet market" thread.
Not having a mass transit train out of there option makes no sense, but hey let's spend billions to add one moe car lane on 45 to fix it.

Where would people get on this train to the airport?

The best train stations in the city are in my backyard.

Seriously it's not like adding a line to DIA or LAX that ties into an existing system. I guess unless you count the waste that is the downtown train that no one uses outside of rodeo and homeless.
I've taken the train at DIA many times and even though Denver has more people that live in downtown with better intracity trains, it's still not that crowded. It is a better experience than driving all the way out to the boonies though.
Need y'all's expert advice.
Wife and I are flying United to Mexico tomorrow (Mon)
Terminal E, at 9:45 AM. Have 1 checked bag. We are TSA precheck.
What's the best course of action to get out bags checked, and to our gate? Go to B, drop bags, take sky tram over to E? Drive direct to E?
Thanks for the help!

Monday morning I'd go to B and check the bag then take the post security train over to E
C is likely to be a mess on a Monday morning

Awesome appreciate it.
Dumb question, but does checking a bag in B instead of terminal E increase the chances of the bag not making our international flight?
No issues with checking internationaly at B. You can Check your bag status/locatjon on the United app.
Thanks for the advice. Went to terminal B, and everything was a breeze.
I take it returning back is the same. Grab checked bag & take the underground Disney train to B and get picked up.

International return will drop you at E so if you're using off site parking, you'll have to walk/take the train to another terminal for pickup. Last couple times I've just walked it to D instead of taking the stupid train but not sure the best route thereTJaggie14 said:

Depends on the day of the week as well as the time of day.TJaggie14 said:

E can be a disaster after 0900 any day of the week; however, quite easy earlier in the day.
Clear immigration and take the slow train to the Marriott, then call your Uber from there.

Flew in Thursday night and heard (for the first time) an automated announcement encouraging passengers to linger and enjoy the restaurants/amenities to help reduce traffic congestion.
Lol. Who doesn't want to hang out at the airport to enjoy overpriced, mediocre food and drink after arriving?
