If you are staying on the same airline, you will not have to pass through security again; also if you are changing airlines, there's a very good chance you won't have to pass through security again. The route you will take depends on the landing and departure gates but there are several ways at Houston to get from one gate to the next without having to clear security; just make sure you don't go past any of the "leaving secure area" signs!

I'm going to assume that you are flying on Continental airlines. If that's the case, then no, you won't have to pass through security. You will be arriving in the same terminal since it's domestic. That's probably going to be terminal A for IAH. Anyways, even if you had to switch to a new terminal in Houston, you still would not need to pass through the security checkpoint again.

No. You will only go through security in Fort Lauderdale. Have a great trip!

Are my flight times correct
Are my flight times correct?
I fly from Merida, Mexico (MID) to Houston, Texas (IAH), then from Houston, Texas (IAH) to Jacksonville, Florida (JAX). The times are: (MID) to (IAH)-Depart Merida at 9:00AM, arrive in Houston at 11:12. Total flight time 2hr 12min. (IAH) to (JAX)-Depart Houston at 1:45PM arrive in Jacksonville at 4:43PM. Total flight time 1hr 58min. The flight from Houston to Jacksonville doesn't add up does it? Maybe the extra hour is for customs and all that stuff since I'm flying from Merida, Mexico to Houston, Texas? Maybe there is a time change?

Yes, you change time zones. Passenger schedules are given in local times.
2 :
All times on your ticket, departure and destination are local times. There is a joke about someone flying from Alabama to Texas who asked the clerk what time the flight took off. The answer 1 PM. He asked what time does it land. The answer 1 PM. He said I changed my mind. I'm not going. Is it all right if I stick around and watch that sucker take off.
3 :
Jacksonville is in a time zone that's one hour ahead of Houston, while Merida and Houston are in the same time zone. If your flight takes off at 1:45 and lasts for 2 hours, it will land at JAX at 4:45 but it will be 3:45 at IAH. Back in the 1980s I worked at the travel agency. One day we were writing tickets (they were still using paper tickets back then) for a guy going on one of those 7 stops in 5 days business trips. One leg of the trip had him going from Chicago to Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo, I forgot which, but the flight was really short, less than an hour, so on his itinerary it looked as if he would arrive before he actually took off.

It's a difference in time zones. Houston is Central time while Jacksonville is an hour ahead in Eastern time.

Will we have enough time for a quick tour of London? We have a 5 hour layover in Heathrow Airport
Will we have enough time for a quick tour of London? We have a 5 hour layover in Heathrow Airport. ?
I understand security is a nightmare. Our flight from Barcelona lands at 0900 hrs, and our connecting flight to Houston leaves at 1405. What nearby sights would be worth leaving the airport for a couple of hours?

I think you would be pushed for time. If you take the Heathrow Express to Paddington, and from there the Underground to Westminster, then you'll be able to see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, and you might just squeeze in the London Eye. I wouldn't try the Tower of London on this short visit as it is a bit out of the centre and takes a long time to see properly.
2 :
No. The London airport is about an hour at least, depending on your mode of transport and traffic, to the city. I would suggest just staying in the airport and doing some duty free shopping. I had a 5 hour stopover there last year, and we went to Virgin records, bought a dvd, and watched it on our laptop.

Hi, There are a couple of things you need to find out before considering leaving the airport to sight-see. The first is whether your baggage is going to be transferred by the airline or whether you will need to collect it at baggage claim and then check in again for your next flight to IAH. If your baggage is going to be automatically transferred this will save you some time. Once you are off the plane you will need to go through immigration which isn't a big deal if you have an EU passport. Lines can be long at Heathrow but they do move. If you don't have an EU passport the process will take longer. So assuming the best case scenario ie, your flight lands on time, you do not have to collect luggage and you have an EU passport you could expect to get through the airport in about 30-40 minutes. If not allow about 1 hour. Once you get out of the airport you could either hop on the Heathrow Express which will get you to Paddington station in central London in about 20 minutes. From here you can jump in a taxi over to sites such as The Houses of Parliament or Westminster Abbey, or wherever else you care to see. The alternative and probably more relaxed option is to take a 15-20 minute taxi ride from Heathrow Airport over to Windsor Castle which is very close by and a wonderful place to visit http://www.visitbritain.us/Attraction/Windsor/Castle-or-Fort/135949/Windsor-Castle.htm Do also take into account when planning your time that although the plane departs at 1405 usually you have to be at the gate 45mins-1hour prior to departure. You will also need to leave a substantial amount of time to get through security at Heathrow. Personally I would make sure I got back to the airport no later than 12-12.30pm. I hope this is of help and that you have a wonderful time.

personally I wouldn't risk coming into London with such a short amount of time available ... if you get stuck anywhere you could easily end up missing your onward flight the previous suggestion to take a cab over to see Windsor Castle is much more sensible ... I can't think of anywhere else within easy reach of Heathrow that would be worth your while
5 :
For international flights you need to check in 2 hours before so you'd only really have 3 hours, that not going to be enough time to get anywhere let alone see anything. The international lounge has some nice places to eat and shop so your really best off staying there.
6 :
I wouldn't chance it! Even as a "local" I would be scared of missing the flight. US flights are a 110% nightmare for checking in. If you are travelling Business Class check in is just a bore. If you are in cattle class you could end up with a nervous breakdown. The security and slowness will drive you mad! You genuinely need to be in the queue 2 hours before! When you get back thank Mr Bush for the inconvenience he has wished on everyone! That and the US Immigration "Service" we meet when we arrive in the US is why we don't bother to come to the US anymore! Have a nice day in the UK, Heathrow is the pits!

Continental Airlines- Houston Airport help
Continental Airlines- Houston Airport help!?
I have a connection flight in Houston (IAH), and I dont know how I connect between terminal C - Terminal B. I am 14 and I don't know what to do. I looked up a map because my mom told me to make sure there is no terminal change, and there is, then I found something called a TerminalLink on Continentals website, but how do I get to the stupid Link?

Hey Nick..I have just the answer..there are agents at every gate who can direct you exactly where to go... it's likely not very difficult at all, I haven't been to IAH, but they are all pretty much the same... they may even have a golf cart available for you to be taken right to your gate... The Agents are there to help you out, and you shouldn't have any problem.. Have a great trip. Peace
2 :
When you land in Houston, follow the signs to terminal B. If you have trouble then ask someone who works at the airport to steer you in the right direction. It's not hard at all.
3 :
aaww honey it must be scary to fly alone. Don't worry. There are plenty of airport employees who will be more than happy to help you. Usually, there will be passangers on your same flight who will also have a connecting flight, you can either follow them or your best choice will be to ask an employee. Good luck!
4 :
Like the other people said ask airline employees they'll point you in the right direction. Houston airport is a little confusing. Also, I'm curious as to how your able to fly on Continental airlines without using the UM program..your not old enough I had to use the UM program actually I'm 15 I've been flying alone since 6 and I never fly on any airline alone unless I'm using the UM program. Tell your parents they only have to pay $100 to have you accompanied so you won't have to worry about this. I looked on the site it is mandatory for you to fly using the program
5 :
Not to worry, at all! IAH is quite friendly. Plus even if you do not fly UM, the people on the electric carts will be happy to direct you to the right gate. The link is a train very easy to use. http://www.fly2houston.com/iahMaps
6 :
All the Terminalink entrances have a blue beacon (flashing light, like on a cop car.)
