"no nearby restrooms"
K Walton (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Why are there no nearby restrooms for people coming in internationally? This is terrible. The employees are unprofessional and will yell while you’re standing right by them. Not yelling at me but just yelling and screaming at passengers in general. The bathrooms (when I finally ran through the place) were disgusting. You could tell they were not properly and regularly cleaned. This was hands down the worst experience I’ve had at any airport and I will do my absolute best to never have to transfer to/from here again.

"TSA was horrible"
Z Carlos (United States)
Not Verified | TSA was horrible and gave us an incredibly bad feeling after bullying us through the screening. I didn’t get any names because we were concerned of staying longer than necessary, but one of the lead females were incredibly rude and treating her own co workers just as terribly. We understand everything TSA goes through and we are grateful for a team that secures our safety but that does not give someone the right to yell at me or my wife! My wife is pregnant and they were savages about getting us through and getting a female to pat down my wife. We fly all the time and this is the ONLY time we had a TSA issue. I will be reporting this further if we have more problems, this needs to be brought to the attention of the employees and the culture needs to shift away from negative attitude to helpful security!

"airport is so overrun"
B Geere (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | This airport is so overrun that I had to wait an hour for Uber to make it through traffic to the pickup area, and it took us another 30 mins to get out. The cops were shouting at drivers and people as well, not decent cop behavior. The AT&T cell service was overrun, too (showing all bars but not able to text or make a call). Won’t be coming through here again!

"Deeply disappointed"
Holly Ellis (United States)
Not Verified | We got in on a late flight to find long lines, disgusting restrooms, traffic problems, baggage backups, airport subway train closed at 12:15 which led to an excessively long walk to car and backtrack to terminal and no response on the valet phone for car. Deeply disappointed and embarrassed that this is an international airport.

“Passengers are treated like cattle”
Prakash Lele (United States)
Not Verified | Of all the airports I have visited, this IAH airport is probably the worst. Which is surprising as I'm comparing it with airports in a few economically poor countries. The airport people seem disinterested in their jobs. Even minor rains are treated as major disasters, causing everyone to take shelters indefinitely. From experience, the wait times for baggage to be delivered is easily 1-2 hours more than the time for baggage delivery in countries like Japan, London,UAE, Ireland, and Italy. In fact, the fastest baggage delivery I've seen was at the Mumbai airport in India - the bags arrived before we reached the baggage claim. Coming back to IAH, international flights struggle to find a docking gate at terminal E. Terminal E is best described as a shanty at this point due to repairs/renovations that hopefully will conclude during my lifetime. We were forced to sit on tarmac for hours after a long flight. Passengers are treated like cattle - beware, if you're requesting wheelchairs, you'll probably be wheeled around the next day if you're lucky. Sad.

"Terminal E is bad"
Juan Gamez (United States)
Not Verified | Terminal E is bad. Probably the worst I have seen. I’m not sure how an international terminal can be so small and not have any amenities, restaurants, etc. on both departure and arrival. Something needs to be done to upgrade this terminal.

"immigration takes ages"
A Ajay (India)
Not Verified | Worst possible airport, immigration takes ages, security check socks, signs are inadequate, arrogant staff, no help on hand, poor facilities, over crowded. By any standard, this is the worst experience I ever had

“cannot support this corporate greed”
Heiko Horn (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Staff at TSA and CBP even more rude than normal - I understand this is a cowboy state but you don’t have to treat people like cattle by yelling commands at them. Long line at global entry so what is the advantage of having it? At other airports I just breeze through. Prices for food have reached levels that I’m not willing to tolerate any more. More than $15 for a prepacked old Turkey sandwich at CIBO that I in addition would have to check out myself is simply unacceptable even though I could expense it. I simply cannot support this corporate greed! Toilets smell like in a 3rd world country. To use the “free” WiFi a ton of personal data is collected - no thank you!

"able to breeze through Immigration"
52 reviews Mahmud Noormohamed (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Transited through Terminal E (International terminal). The airport is massive and the distances from domestic terminal to international terminal are vast. Terminal E has a wide spacious open concourse with all the amenities. Seating is plentiful at the Gates. Give yourself plenty of time 2h.5 hrs minimum to make connecting flights. The distances from the gates to Immigration and Customs are very long. The terminal was very crowded however with Mobile Passport Control, we were able to breeze through Immigration. The only drawback is that one has to exit the secured area and go through TSA security all over again with very long lines. From the transfer area one has to take the train to reach the domestic terminals. The free airport WiFi is very fast.

"screening process is excessive"
Jacob Greene (United States)
Not Verified | Overpricing is a bit worse here than other airport shops I've seen. The screening process is excessive and very time consuming. Unsure if it is generalized, but on our screening, the TSA agent was one of the least courteous, rudest, pushiest, most impatient i have seen. Watched her shout at an elderly man at least 4-5x to empty his pockets while he was trying to do so. She showed no respect, no patience, and no courtesy. Extremely memorable and unpleasant experience.
