Houston International, USA (IAH)

During my travels to the USA I also decided to meet relatives who actually lived in Lake charles, approximately three hundred miles from Houston. I therefore flew with continental to Houston and took an express jet to Lake charles. I found that, in general, the airport was fairly clean and there were ample directions available, so i never got lost. However, there were fewer of the quick walking ramps, instead one had to walk from gate to gate, that, in my case, took me around 10-15 mins as it was on different sides of the airport (however, there are mini trains that take passengers from terminal to terminal). All in all, the staff were also fairly friendly and the presidents club, an area for frequent flyers with continental airlines, was a delight to visit. It allowed me to rest and freshen up between connecting flights. Unfortunately, on my return to the airport, the atmosphere was somewhat different following the recent attacks.

Houston is also an extremely nice city and I would recommend anyone in that part of the world to take a look. But be prepared for scorching temperatures in the summer !!
