Named after the 41st President of the United States, George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is one of the busiest airports in the world and a premier international hub servicing Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Mexico and more. This self-proclaimed “city within a city” will keep travelers occupied for hours, so a long layover is nothing to worry about. Its robust menu of amenities meets nearly all types of needs; with shopping and dining abound throughout the airport. You can find your everyday essentials, but take some time to browse through shops offering books, clothes, toys and souvenirs only found in Houston. You will never go hungry here, either; the cuisines are as diverse as the travelers passing by.
If Houston is your final destination or if you plan on spending some time here, access to the city is easy with a wide selection of transportation options. If you prefer your own car, head to the Consolidated Rental Car Facility where major rental agencies are ready to give you the keys. Taxis are a quick and easy way to get to any point in the city, but the shuttles are a viable alternative if time is on your side.
