Hi. I will be flying MSP->IAH-> MGA this Sat with only 50 min connection time. Can someone please advise the quickest way to get from terminal A to E at IAH. I believe my bags are checked through so I don't have to recheck.
Thanks!

Are you flying on Continental the entire way?
If so to stay behind security the whole transfer, you take a bus from terminal A to B, then take the elevated train to C or E depending on which terminal your flight departs from.
There is a seperate underground train between all terminals and the hotel, but it is before security.
50 minutes is tight, but if everything is on time you should make it okay.
Ciao,
FH

50 minutes will be close, perhaps too close if your ARR is delayed at all.
Shuttle bus from A (every few minutes) to the horror show at CO's B lower level multi-gate ground floor warehouse, up the escalator and a brief walk to the elevated shuttle train to E.
I don't like the odds.

thanks for the replies! My only saving grace is I was bumped up to business class so hopefully they'll wait for me! :) Wish me luck!

Wait for you? Don't reduce me to hysterics! They'll have your business class seat filled with a upgrade/standby quicker'n spit.
Having an agent call ahead from your arrival gate that you're on your way with way on sometimes helps, but is not always dependably defensible.
