The airport of Houston (IAH), originally named Houston Intercontinental Airport, opened its doors in June 1969 and has since become a major hub for international travel in Texas. Renamed in 1997 after the 41st President of the United States, the airport spans over 4,000 hectares and features five runways, making it Houston‘s largest airport and the #8 airport in the United States. It serves as a premier long-haul facility for the region, supporting 26 airlines that offer flights to 187 non-stop destinations. The airport has obviously aged over time but is working well and fast.
The airport boasts five terminals: A-E, each serving different purposes and airlines. Passengers can easily navigate between these terminals using the underground subway train, which is a bit old-fashioned but working well, providing free transportation outside the security checkpoints. For those requiring accommodation, there is a hotel directly inside the airport but also more than 20 nearby hotels provide shuttle services to and from the airport, catering to various preferences and budgets for travelers seeking rest before or after their flights.
