IAH Connections
I have a 30 minute connection in Houston between CO Express and CO mainline...
Haven't been there in a while, but I remember it being one of the harder airports to get around....
Any thoughts?

Don't forget that they can give away your seat if you ain't at the gate 20 minutes before scheduled departure.

It was 35 when they rebooked me, but a sked chg reduced that to 30... I think most domestic to domestic is 30. but the express to mainline worries me....

Jim - you got me thinking and I went to continental.com and did a flight search for my dates and sure enough that one showed up... that tells me it is a legal connection...
Flt is in the morning (g-awful 6am departure from IAD arrive IAH at 8:40)...

I have taken the IAD flight and once was enough. The flight was late (the crew showed up 10 minutes before departure) and it only got worse. If you don't have carryon and are willing to run and you make the shuttle and the place isn't a zoo you might make it.
Next time take the DCA flight at the same time on a 737.
Enjoy the bagel that you get for breakfast.

Three weeks ago I had a 30 minute connection from Term B to D. Made it with time to spare.
Use the TerminalLink to get from B to C/D.

30 minutes is more than enough time to get from anywhere to anywhere at IAH. While it seems long, I can routinely get from deep in C and D to B in 13-14 minutes (I timed it a couple of times).
Of course, if your inbound is running late...
