Opening for service in or around the end of June. No firm date yet, but most work is done and now the process of obtaining various approvals, certificates, and preparation for service would appear to be underway.

I was advised that IAH is being billed as a "boutique" lounge, and will have the smallest square footage of the current portfolio. All the usual amenities will be available, just in smaller quantities as compared to the EWR or SFO facilities, which are truly massive. E.g., fewer shower suites, nap rooms, smaller dining area, etc.

IAH definitely has a more evenly-distributed schedule of longhaul departures, although I can see the lounge getting pretty crowded in the 8-10pm period.
