Houston
George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) is United Airlines' second-largest hub after Newark and operates five terminals with Tex-Mex food culture running through every concourse. Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen — Houston's iconic Cajun-Creole chain — has airside outposts in Terminals A, B, and C pouring proper margaritas with fresh lime and 100% agave tequila, and a credible Texas/Louisiana craft-beer rotation. The United Polaris Lounge in Terminal E is the polished play for international business pax — bartender-attended bar, full Champagne service, restaurant-grade dining.
