First time in a long time

Flying CO in early June between IAH & ANC. What can one expect on a 7 hour flight on a 757-300 traveling in Coach.

Have a lengthy pit stop at IAH, and will probably fork for day-access to the President's Club. Is there one recommended Club/Location over another?

Booked an awesome fare on a great mileage run.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your profile says Aeroplan. Do you have Star Gold status with AC? If so, you can access the PC for free.

Regrettably not, would you care to be my escort?

If you're familiar with IAH, any tips on which of the 4 clubs accessible for a IAH/ANC domestic flight would be appreciated.

All the CO clubs in IAH have nearly identical amenities (with the exception of showers).

The E club, however, is the newest and most spacious.

I personally prefer Term E although it can get overcrowded at peak times.

ACYYZ/SD, you traitor! :P

I've taken some photos of the IAH PC on my Facebook (which thankfully nobody asked me to delete "for security reasons")

Page 6 - 7 has photos of Terminal C South concourse and page 7 - 8 has photos of Terminal E (which is about a 10 minute walk away)

Ha Ha! At least I'm keeping it in the family (*A).

*Always wanted to go to Alaska (be there during my birthday)
*Unbeatable Fare ($213.00 a/i)
*About 6500 FF miles

3 hours south to go 7 hours north.

Have heard great things about Terminal E Club. Assume it's post security, not sure if I can access without an international boarding card.

Happy birthday

The C-south and E clubs are both airside. C-north should be too (alas, I didn't have time to visit it). Not sure about the other ones though.

Enjoy the free wi-fi in the PC too ^

Effecitvely, all of IAH is interconnected on the insde. You'll be able to go to any club you want with your BP.

acyyz you should post in President's Club Meeting thread. I am sure you will be able to find a sponsor there.

Thumbs up PC at IAH & 753 Y seats

As others have said, the PC in Term E is probably the best...it certainly is the largest one at IAH. I recommend the complimentary Bloody Marys.

As for the B757-300, try for a Y seat in rows 11 thru 16 D, E or F. I fly the 753 frequently between IAH and LAX and it appears these seats have an extra inch of legroom.
