IAH concourse question

[jwarhank]

We are flying in to IAH with part of our group arriving on concourse A and some on concourse C. We are to meet the others on Concourse A for our transport to Galveston. Is there an easy way for us to get from concourse C to concourse A after we have gathered our luggage?

There is a tram that connects all the terminals. I am not sure if you are able to access them once you have claimed your luggage. Maybe someone else will know the answer to that question. If not then you will only be able to access terminal C to terminal A by vehicle I think. They are not within walking distance of each other from luggage claim.

That's exactly what I need to know --- can we access the tram once we have received our luggage. If there is no other way, then I will ask our shuttle drive to stop at both concourses, but would rather not do that. Thanks for your quick reply.

I do not know if you can access the tram once you have claimed your luggage. I live in Houston and of course have never had to do this. I am sure the shuttle driver would not mind stopping at both terminals. By car it will only take a couple of minutes to stop by both. I have had to pick people up at both terminals before. Very easy to do. Also this would be much easier than taking your luggage on the tram.

I have just contacted Royal Carriages and asked them to make two stops for us. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

You're correct - you have to be inside the secured area to use the train. It's a very long walk from C to A.

IAH has an airside elevated train and a streetside tram that connect the terminals. Just go down one level from baggage claim to reach the tram.
