What are some of your places you enjoy at IAH that a lot of people don’t know about?

The chapel in C terminal. Always quiet and peaceful vs the hustle and bustle a hallway away.

D terminal closer to the walk from C is always quiet and void of people. Also the new bathrooms in that area are the cleanest and best shitters.

No hidden but Panda Express. Only time I ever eat it is in the airport so I now look forward to it.

Eco Park 2. Smaller and easiest to get in and out of as you can jump right off the bus and not have to wait for the driver to drop all the fattys off at their car.

My favorite part of IAH is the road out of there. But the Pink’s pizza is always easy to deal with for a quick bite.

Near Pink' in the C 30's area there is also a Ramen Bar that is solid.

The gate in the international terminal when I flew the Houston Express to Angola was the end of the line, just the people using the flight were there. I always liked carbing up at the ruby Tuesday's(i think). Would chew on a benzo once I was appropriately fat and chase it with some JDs on the plane.

Total degenerate behavior but I'd wake up 10 hours later prepping for breakfast and landing.

Did you get to try out for the rodeo during your time there? It’s always been a fun event to watch the prisoners run in fear.

The AMEX lounge is so out of the way and hidden that I don’t think they actually want anyone to find it or use it.

It’s like trying to find the hogwarts express. And somehow it’s still packed all the time.

On our vacation a few weeks ago. Houston was by far the shittiest airport we flew into.

Im glad they are remodeling it.

Say what you want about the man but only Burl Cain could get a direct flight from Houston to Angola, even if it is 10 hours long.

Agreed. Pro trip for travel - if you’re stuck in an airport overnight sleep in the chapel it’s the quietest place possible.

Plus it’s always cheaper than the private parking companies like parking spot that are farther away. Last time I parked in Eco Park 2 the bus driver followed me as I pulled in and was waiting for me as I parked. It was just as quick on the way back. Never parking anywhere else at KIAH again.

Although not a hidden gem, seeing Shipley's Donuts in Terminal B always made me feel at home - even when I lived away from TX from 1987-2011.
