connecting flight times and immigration question
Hi all
This is my first post here. I love this site. We booked our flight from Toronto to Guadalarja for March 2010. We got a good deal using Continental transfering in Houston. We have 1 hour 30 mins to tranfer flights. As long as the plane is not delayed. I cannot believe our luck 5 days later the Mexicana flight we wanted went down in price grrrrrrrrr LOL. Oh well
We fly into terminal B and need to get to E in Houston. IS this tough? Also do we have to go through Immigration ( we will have done so in Toronto) at least our bags go through without us.
Has anyone had an experience like this? I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas
Cheers

Your arrival in IAH is domestic so you just have to transfer to the connecting gate/terminal. You'll have more than enough time if your flight isn't (too) late and you're not seated near the back.
The catch is on the way back. Immigration at IAH may take a long time.

Even if the flight is late and they are seated at the back, a 90 minute connection at IAH should be fine. The actual time to get between the gates should be no more than 30-45 minutes and it is all inside security so there is a pretty decent buffer in there.
The YYZ-IAH flight on the ERJ might be a bit numbing, but the schedule is fine.

Thanks everyone
I do see that it is a pretty small plane. We will surive.
I am glad to know we should make it. Coming home will be tight with 70 mins yikes. Sorry Joey for posting in the wrong place. I will look around for the forum you are talking about
Cheers
