Int'l to Int'l transfer at IAH question
I should know the answer to this one, but I haven't had the need to do an Int'l transit route in IAH in the past.
I'll be flying in from MEX via IAH to EZE in a month. Does anybody know for 100% certain if I need to clear customs and immigration? Or is there still an in-transit lounge at IAH?
If I need to clear customs and immigration will i need to wait for any checked luggage there too? (I guess I will be told this part when checking in, but thought I'd ask here since it was related).
Thanks,
Mike

The lanes are called "one-stop" and your bags will be tagged "in-transit" so you will not collect them at IAH.

Cool, thanks... luckily I can go through Global Entry anyways, but wasn't sure if there was an alternative lounge to go through.
Thanks,
