George Bush Airport Houston

Three of us have about 5 hours and 30 minutes of a layover in Houston on Sunday the 8th of January. Is there any sort of fun/interesting activity we could do in Houston that would take about 3 hours? We don’t want to sit around the airport and I am familiar enough with its layout to not get lost.

Does anyone have any good suggestions? We will be there from 12 PM till 5.30 PM, if that helps.

Thanks!

Head north to The Woodlands. Exit on the flyover for Woodlands Parkway. First right onto Woodloch Forest Dr.
First left on Timberloch
Parell park in that block on the next. Walk north along Water Way Ave towards the mall. Cross the waterway. There are lots of fun restaurants and places to see. Go down the stairs or elevator and walk along the waterway. Visit the fountains at Waterway Square.

When bored, head further down Timberloch Pl or Lake Robbins Dr. to Market Street. Lots of fun places there as well.

I need to relocate to Houston for my new job near the IAH airport. There are so many apartments on line, but I have no idea which one is better. Can anyone refer me to any good apartments please?
I do find an apartment names "champion woods". Dose anybody know it before? is it safe for a single girl? Thank you.

Try to find something 5 to 15 minutes north of the airport. Kingwood is very nice and close to the mall, restraunts, bars, movies ect. just north New Caney is quiet and safe as well. south of the airport north east houston has issues, so does many parts of Humble. I would really want to live in Kingwood if I worked near the airport.

I need some help ….

Im leaving calgary to go to new orleans and im stopping in houston for transferring flights.

I’m a first time flyer, so I’m a tad nervous. I only have about 40 mins until my flight leaves for New Orleans. I will need to get from Terminal C to terminal B in that time frame..

Can anyone who has been there tell me whats the best way and if i will need to check in tosecurityy first?

Bottom line….Will i make it in time >.<
I only have my carry on bag
As long as you stay on the airside of the terminal (don’t leave the airport) you should be fine. If you are arriving on a flight and departing on a connecting flight even though it’s in a different terminal, no you will not need to go back through security. 40 min is a reasonable amount of time to make a connection. You should be fine.

They don’t @ the Houston airport.

Designated smoking areas, 25 feet away from the entrance of terminal buildings
Smoking is not permitted within George Bush airport.

I am flying from bjx(Leon) to iah(Houston) to clt(Charlotte) and I’m worried on the iah-clt flight is that enough time since I have to go through immigration and everything else it’s only 1hr and 2min

No - you have to go thru US Customs, collect your luggage and than go thru security again in order to make your connecting domestic flight to CLT

and return in january 13, 2012

Try vision airlines I found a flight out of Louisiana to destin/fort Walton Florida for on 139$. Everywere else was about 1,000$.

I will be going to the IAH airport in Houston, and I know there are great places to eat there. I will have to wait for several hours for my ride. I am wondering if, after I go through Customs and baggage claim, I can still get to the restaurants in the terminals or if I will have to leave the airport. I think probably I won´t be able to access the restaurants in the terminal, but I was wondering if anyone knows for sure.

You can grab something to eat there and be just fine. No worries. I’ve done it many times and all the terminals. It’s all good. You can even catch a shuttle to another terminal if you want to.

As long as you have a boarding pass, it’s all good.

(Have fun).

Which company should I call to get the best shuttle prices

It’s over 80 miles one way, Call on the link here. Best price and no storage of rental car. Cost $30-40 to store a car there at the terminal, other wise the rent car would be a better deal. See if you can fly to Houston Hobbie, the rate will be cheaper or if you don’t have tickets yet, go to florida and not galveston cruise line.

(Have fun).

I filmed this with my new pocket camcorder on December 1, 2010. You can see downtown and the freeways, but I was facing the sun.

Looks like your typical Continental Airlines Boeing 737-500 landing at Houston Intercontinental, BUT it appears we were too high and had to do a go around!!! First time I had to experience that on Continental Airlines. The captain speaks towards the end of the video about the go around. The very next day I had an aborted take-off on a Continental Express Chautauqua flight.
