George Bush Airport's Terminal B lobby to close for redevelopment

• But if you've flown out of IAH recently with the bouts of construction over the past few years, you're already familiar with the changes.

Catch up quick: United Airlines' $2.6 billion renovation and expansion of Terminal B includes overhauling the baggage system, accommodating larger planes and revamping the ticket lobby.

How it works: United Airlines gates B3–B31 will remain operational during the lobby closure.

• Passengers should check in and pass through security at Terminal C, then use the Skyway train to reach Terminal B.

The bottom line: Get to the airport early and look out for people in pink vests to help with navigation.

• United recommends arriving 2–3 hours before your flight and following posted signage.
