Talk:George Bush Intercontinental Airport

As of 2007...

The piece proclaims, "as of 2007, Terminals A and B remain from the airport's original design." While that may be true, that was more than a decade ago. Is this current?

Delta and Frontier

Does Delta Connection serve seasonal flights to Orlando? Also does Frontier Airlines serve flights to Phoenix?

I removed the "native name: Houston-Intercontinental" because it is no longer called that and few other airport wiki articles contain "native name" additions. In fact about the only ones that do are articles on airports named after conservative politicians. However, a couple of persons have decided to keep adding it back and maintaining a double standard on airport names, including replacing any abbreviated "Houston-Bush" with "Houston-Intercontinental." Is Wikipedia about accuracy or simply a reflection of liberal brattiness? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.194.7.115 (talk) 01:43, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Just for grins...I googled the following names, nothing scientific, just an estimate of popular use. Postoak (talk) 03:57, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

• 18,700,000 for Houston Intercontinental airport.
• 1,980,000 for Houston Bush Airport.
• 3,260,000 for Houston International Airport.
• 88,000 for George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

I also want to add that if you book a flight to IAH, all the major airlines including Continental refer to the airport as "Houston-Intercontinental". Spikydan1 (talk) 04:15, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Probably because it's tower sign is IAH 76.6.95.0 (talk) 06:00, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Lounge

Lufthansa no longer have their own lounge (The Senator lounge closed last year).

Singapore do not have a lounge or the use of any lounge. 99.172.33.220 (talk) 04:57, 17 November 2009 (UTC) Page

Why wouldn't Singapore Airlines have access to any Star Alliance lounge -- in the case of this airport that would be United's lounge?

Destinations And Terminals

Can someone update the destinations map? IAH has been adding a ton of international service. http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2015/06/12/all-nippon-ceo-has-high-hopes-for-houston-tokyo-route/71118792/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3479:D440:8D25:F9DA:40E1:6566 (talk) 15:22, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Whoever redid the destinations and terminals into this table format left out all of Continental's international terminal E destinations (i.e. Tokyo, London-Heathrow, etc...), as well as British Airways to London-Heathrow, and maybe others. I am unfamiliar with editing tables like that so I can't fix it myself, and I don't have a list of all the Continental international flights but someone needs to fix this please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.197.93.9 (talk) 00:12, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Intercontinental

Is there a reason this airport is called "intercontinental" rather than the more common "international"? If so, it should probably be mentioned in the article. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 18:50, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I believe back in the early 60's, Hobby Airport was known as "Houston International" so the working name for the new airport under construction was "Intercontinental" to not confuse the two. The city kept the "Intercontinental" name when the airport opened in 1969. Postoak (talk) 22:36, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

UA IAH-NRT-SIN

I'll allow SIN to be removed as a destination:

• UA 7 waits at NRT for 3.5 hours. Knowing how busy/congested NRT is, it is very likely that the same plane will not remain there.
• By late September, NRT-SIN is flown by pmUA again (803), so it appears to be merger-related periodic changes, which fit the "timetable direct" exclusion criterion.

Interstate 69

Is US59 near this airport now named I69? Our gps unit says so as well as Interstate 69 in Texas. I was reverted and blamed for vandilism when i tried to fix this.Sum Christianus (talk) 02:15, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Near the airport it is I-69. However, I-69 does not go all the way to downtown. Meanwhile, US-59 does. HkCaGu (talk) 02:30, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Will the interstate 69 designation eventually be able to replace us-59 on this page then? If i was wrong, then thank you for reinstating the truth. Sum Christianus (talk) 14:57, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Houston Bush ONLY refers to George H.W. Bush

George HW Bush is only the 41st president. He is not the 41st and the 43rd. Please do not keep changing bush to both men. IAH only refers to the 41st.RicHicks (talk) 00:53, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Top Destinations, International

The list for the top international destinations is quite long, with 26 entries. In the US the de facto standard seems to be ten. I agree that it is interesting to see the lower ranked passenger counts, but that goes beyond the level of encyclopedic. Really only European airports go beyond ten international routes, but that is due to their relative dearth of domestic flights. Is it alright if I cut back the list? Travisn917 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Travisn917 (talk • contribs) 04:32, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

No need to worry the new list goes to 15 entries and features the top international destinations from 2015 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:68BB:BA30:C528:8577:6954:1016 (talk) 16:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

China Eastern Flight to PVG: What happened to the flight?

Hi everybody. I was reading this article and I noticed that the article said, "In 2016, China Eastern Airlines expressed interest in operating a direct non-stop flight between Shanghai–Pudong, China's largest business center, and Houston. This flight would be the airport's second non-stop to China and the fifth non-stop to Asia. The route would be flown by the Boeing 777-300ER, China Eastern's only aircraft capable of the flight. Additionally, the flight would surpass the airline's New York City and Toronto–Pearson services as the longest in the China Eastern system." However, such flight still has not existed yet, meaning that this is out of date. I tried to find out why the flight still didn't launch, in order to become up to date, but there were no articles that I can find that can explain what happened. So... can anyone help me with what happened with this IAH-PVG Flight? And how shall we keep that PVG part of the article up to date? Thanks, ActivBowser9177 (talk) 01:13, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

There was some discussion about this on the Houston Architecture Information Forum: Apparently, the US-Chinese civil aviation protocol limits Chinese carriers to 180 flight pairs/week from PKG, PVG and CAN, and adding the PVG-IAH flight would require China Eastern to make cuts elsewhere. They're not willing to do that, thus no PVG-IAH flights at this time. Vox Univoaks (talk) 04:50, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! I'll add the changes and put the source. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 23:04, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
