Just came through IAH on Intl arrival. I'd guess from leaving the plane (D2) to connecting gate (C43) was right at 2 hours.
There were only two lanes covering MPC, so the wait seemed a bit much there, but I knew we would be waiting on checked luggage anyway.
Once through MPC, our bags were waiting and we moved to recheck to IAD.
Thats when the fun began.
All lanes through recheck were dumped together into a maze downstairs. They were metering people up the escalators but once the gaggle at the beginning was worked out, and we were inside the ropes, it kinda went ok. Maybe spend 20-30 minutes down in the bag recheck area.
Once upstairs, a fresh new hell was waiting. There were only a few TSA stations open, 5-6ish maybe. The lines zigzagged back and forth across the entire recheck area. The TSA that were there were working as hard as they could to keep things going. Kudos to them.
I had a 2.5 hour connection time at booking. We were 20 minutes late into IAH because our inbound was delayed due to screening delays. it was IAH to BZE, so assume they delayed that departure to get as many late stragglers as they could. I got to the connecting gate as they were boarding Group 3. It became pretty clear we would make the connection, and I had a fallback, but it was a little too close for comfort...
