It is by far the most convenient way of getting from Guadalajara to Tegucigalpa, but the short connection in IAH has me a little worried. I'm a seasoned traveler but have only been in IAH very few times and last time was in 2018.
Flight from GDL is Operated by Mesa on an E175. Does this spell remote parking?
A penny for peoples thoughts. Much appreciated.
Baggage should be through checked at IAH as that airport has a special arrangement allowing International to International bags to bypass the baggage claim.
Based on past data for the 2 daily GDL to IAH flights operated by Mesa, they tend to arrive at either Terminals D or E. So you should not have to worry about bus gates. I’m not aware of any bus gate operations in IAH.
As for wait times, CBP publishes their checkpoint wait times for US airports online. (
