Returning on BA 197 (scheduled 1900 arrival) on a Thursday in mid-May. Traveling companion will have a checked bag. We are both GE.

We've departed and arrived from E before (although IAH is not our home airport, so I'm not current on whatever state it is in). We have also met our ride at the Marriott when doing so; we are comfortable walking/subway from E to other terminals. (Thank you, FT friends, for this most excellent suggestion.)

Prior posts from February mentioned that B seems to be a favored check-in terminal. Subsequent threads mention changes to walkways, etc. Questions:

1. Which parking do you recommend for me? Should I park in C/D/E or A/B? On return, we don't mind walking / taking the subway from E to A/B if there is value in doing so.

2. Depending on where I park, which terminal should I use to clear security? I don't mind showing my passport at the gate (versus the ticket counter), but I don't have a preference.

Open to ideas and suggestions, as well as other considerations.

Thank you.
Wouldn’t over complicate this. BA flies out of Terminal D and I would park (C/D/E), check in, and go through security there. You have Pre, so while B may be a hair faster than D, it still won’t be long and you will save time by not having to commute via train. Plus D is where the Centurion Lounge is.
