The redesigned Terminal B North Concourse at Bush Airport is flashy, spacious and full of new amenities.
Why it matters: United Airlines designed the upgraded space to make travel more comfortable, featuring Houston restaurants, public art, family-friendly amenities — and the largest airline lounge in the Americas.
Zoom in: Here's a look at what's inside the new concourse, which opens Thursday:
- A massive United Club: The 54,000-square-foot lounge seats 800 travelers and features two bars, two buffets, 11 private phone rooms and a 1,350-square-foot outdoor terrace overlooking the airfield.
- Houston restaurants: Travelers can grab food from local favorites including Blood Bros. BBQ, B&B Butchers, Rosie Cannonball and Pizaro's Pizza, along with Katz Coffee and Blue Bell ice cream.
- Public art: A $16.8 million art program, the largest in Bush Airport's history, features 10 major installations inspired by Houston's bayous, culture and history, per United.
- Family-friendly spaces: A children's play area and sensory room offer places to play, unwind or take a break from the airport's hustle and bustle.
- The concourse also has a nursing room and a service animal relief area.
