George Bush Intercontinental Airport has five terminals — A, B, C, D, and E. Terminals A, B, C, and E serve domestic routes while Terminal D is the international gateway. TSA PreCheck is available at Terminals A, B, C, and D. Terminal D has international departures and may require additional time for document verification. The inter-terminal train (IAH Subway) connects terminals post-security. Terminal C is United's main hub and experiences the greatest traffic volume. Allow extra time during afternoon peak banks and holiday periods.
