We had a long layover I. Houston airport. It’s a nice airport with all the modern amenities. Lots of good restaurants. The CIBO outlets were extremely overpriced. The assistance staff is very nice. We had a good time.

One of the largest airports in the USA, yet one of the worst managed. From arriving to departure the experience is gruesome. Arrival drop off and/or parking is complicated. Traffic police seem to only further confuse the experience. The check-in lobbies are chaotic, and finding the proper line to use whether it be pre check, first class or higher status check in line is in constant flux. Wheelchair assist is the WORST in country and the WORLD ! Wheelchair staff are ooorly organized and their attitudes are terrible. The whole wheelchair process is sad. In fact, I intentionally avoid certain flight routes to avoid certain wheelchair companies as it is traumatic with wheelchair supervisors yelling at passengers. The wheelchair service is contracted directly by the airlines with various companies - with the Hunt Leigh company that services international airlines like Qatar, Emirates and Etihad being the absolute WORST service company - so much so that I have written the company several times, and even spoken to their HR dept without any success to notice change in service, personnel or procedure. This service provided by Hunt Leigh is an absolute blemish to the airlines. Flights seem to leave the gate timely only to be on the Tarmac an additional 20-90 minutes. Baggage claim also is a very long wait. Take the time to leisurely stroll to baggage claim the approx 1 mile from the arrival gate to the baggage claim to enjoy a meal. Even with the 20 minutes one may take to arrive at baggage claim one will be surprised to learn that they have to wait an additional 20-40 minutes before the luggage appears at the carousel. Having written the above, the saving grace is that the airport does have a fantastic selection of restaurants and stores - however they are next to impossible to find as the airport is divided amongst 5 terminals that are not close to each other. The longes are small, overcrowded and not very luxurious. Moreover, the food variety at the lounges is not only poorly presented, but also not tasty. So my opinion is that it’s best to eat at one of the restaurants. Theoretically the 6-10 year remodel of the airport which is very ugly and only adds to the chaos is supposedly to address the above concerns - but …. My review is based on bi monthly travel for over 15 years thru this hub. If able, try to use Hobby Airport which is a much better experience.

Were were United airlines which are certainly roomier as far as legroom compared to other companies There is signage laid out quite clearly on how to get from one terminal to the next There were lots of food options. The flight into Houston arrived on time and the one to Fort Lauderdale from Houston left early We enjoyed this airport hub as a result
