Why would you transit in the US rather than take the direct LH flights to MEX?
At least for non-US citizens it would not make sense to transit in the US. Way too much hassle and time consuming to enter the US when US is not your final destination.

I hope you have a sufficient connection time in IAH which is a total Guantanamo por non-US citizens entering the US, at least at the times of the arrivals of intercontinental flights. Good luck

Assuming the worst in general at US airports I wasn't aware that Houston is particularly nasty. Well, I have two hours and indeed it seems int. arrival time around my arrival from MEX. Might be a bit tight.

Couldn't find your original fare for Aug-Sept with LH/UA but noticed it's even 100 euros cheaper on many days for a SkyTeam combination, usually AF and AeroMexico via CDG and IAH...
