IAH / Houston Bush Intercontinental: flight connections
My Travel Agent has booked me on two CO flights, with a 42 minute connection time at IAH. The first flight arrives at 7:58 pm at Terminal C. My connecting flight departs at 8:40 pm at Terminal B. Supposedly, this connection time occurs after the peak hour is over. Am I going to make this connection without running between terminals, provided my first flight arrives on schedule?
Do I have to go through Terminal B security or is there an airside connection between these two terminals that is past security screening?

Airport map link at IAH. There are 2 ways to go from C to B; the above ground tram (TerminaLink) and a bus - depending on specific gates. Both are reasonably quick and painless, but inbound delays do occur.
Both connections are inside of security, so no worries there.

You'll make the connection without much trouble if your flights are on time. If you post the flights at issue, I'm sure some helpful FlyerTalkers can help arm you with a contingency plan if something goes awry. For future reference, this thread would have found a better audience in the CO forum.

I would be a little concerned. Flights towards the evening usually have delays from the previous hours. Additionally, you are changing terminals which can take awhile. Be sure to take the TerminaLink and not the bus.

I connect through IAH a fair amount on CO. I usually allow at least an hour. Good chance you will make it with a 40 minute connecting time - but just make sure there's another flight later in the day if you miss your connection. Or that you won't be too upset if the flight is the last flight of the day and you miss it. Robyn

IAH connection help please!
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!
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.

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.
