ANA via Houston (IAH)

[mathiar86]

Hi all
Sorry if this is the wrong post locstion

Travelling SYD-MSY with a connection in Houston in business via ANA (United codeshare in USA)

My flight time has been changed to arriving 0720 (terminal D) and departing 0935 (terminal C)

I have two queations
1. Is this enough time to transfer given clearing customs, rechecking bag
2. I’m confused about lounge access in Houston. I’ve read my ticket (listed as business on my itinerary) will not allow me lounge access?

If I change to a longer itinerary I’d love a shower which I understand the Houston United club lounge doesn’t t have but I’ve got AMEX platinum charge (different terminal). Trying to decide on changing to a longer itinerary but if this means me sitting in the airport without lounge access for another 2 hours then I’m not that keen…

Arriving on an International flight in J gives you lounge access.

Oh thanks for that, must have looked at a different United page

Do you think the 2h window for connection is a bit tight?

If everthing goes to time it would be fine but say incoming flight is an hour late? I always prefer longer times which usually assures me a lot more time in the lounge. The Polaris lounge in IAH was quite nice. We were there before our ANA flight to Japan.
