Good god what a cluster. I like IAH because I can get anywhere from there, but the airport itself blows. No club in B and no security there for months, but hey, you can go somewhere else and choose from TWO trains to get there!

I'm so thankful my kid is about old enough to start flying alone on Southwest. Used B always when taking her or picking her up because the unaccompanied minor check in at C was always manned by 1 person who also had all kinds of other duties.

Came in through E from Austin to B and airport looks pretty calm right now. No big crowds that I saw. E security had a decent line but not outrageous.

I walked past the exit from a security area leaving E towards the skyway. I assumed it was E security. Looking at the map, it was probably D. Everything is boarded up along the way so easy to get turned around.

I always went to B, but just went through D. Pre check lane up to ID, then no dedicated pre check screening (used laminated card) at 11 AM. All in all took about 10-12 minutes from curb to through security.

My other idea was to go to A and train over, but D drop off curb was about 80% free of cars. YMMV

Wife and kids are flying out of A Friday evening. Besides having to deal with the best of the best, is everything else business as usual? CLEAR still working there?

jet blue. Her mom booked it all. I've never flown that airline but am under the impression it is one step above spirit.

We had a great experience flying Jet Blue to Boston a couple of years ago. New plane and free Wifi.

Forgot to add, B terminal United Club also closing for renovations this month. Sorely needed but a bad deal for UA Club members who frequent B.

Well I'm heading out of B tomorrow so going to risk it and hope things are still open for now

I wouldn't have a lot of confidence in this, but prob worth the look in the odd chance the actually update the page if shut down. More likely it will just say < 10 minutes as nobody will be in line but it will be shut down! Good luck

IAH Security wait times

Flew out of A last week. West Jet took over Southwest's downtown bus station gates at A7.

That terminal is indeed Feral. WestJet isn't a bad airline... But being banished to A...

Yeah I was looking at that and have to think it would just disappear when it's close (like E is) but I'm probably putting too much faith in TSA/IAH

Secret door at B parking past the Valet to avoid the temporary winding walkway too narrow for two carts to pass.

Of course you have to go down stairs from the Exorcist.
