I arrived in Houston at 10 pm having been on airplanes and in airports for 36 hours straight. My flight departed the next afternoon, and I had seven dollars to my name. Starbucks rescued me. The landside shop has large padded chairs that are almost equivalent to half a love seat. I pulled two of them together facing each other and had a comfy bed. It was heavenly. If it wasn't for the constant announcements, janitorial staff who cleaned every inch of the floor at least ten times and lights that could not get any brighter, I would definitely sleep there again. Make sure and bring food, snacks and extra cigarettes because everything shuts down at night.

I arrived in Houston at about 8pm to find everything-EVERYTHING-was closing up shop. Be sure to have some snacks with you because I don't think there is anything open again until 5am (McDonalds). My connecting flight boarded at 6am, so I spent the whole night in the airport.
The airport was very chilly, but perhaps that was because of the weather outside, 40F, which I think is rather cold for Houston? It is very clean and there are lots of cleaning people about all night, but they won't bother you. I slept on the floor behind some chairs in between the gates and the concourse. I saw a couple other people around resting too. The bathrooms are clean but I don't think there are showers available anywhere. Announcements are LOUD and go on all night. Usually I can sleep anywhere, but I had trouble at Houston-mostly because I was freezing cold!
There is WiFi, but it's 8 a day to connect. A little trick I found. . . try to sit near the first class lounge and you can connect to their WiFi service for free (although the signal won't be 100).
The last review for this airport was in 2011. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
