United departs from Terminals A, B, C, and E at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). We verified this against the airport's own sources on June 27, 2026 — airlines do move terminals, so we date every check.

United departs from Terminals A, B, C, and E at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). United mainline domestic departs Terminal C; United Express departs Terminals B and C with some Terminal A gates; United international departs Terminal E. United's own map notes you check in at Terminal C for United flights that use Terminal A gates. Verified June 27, 2026.
Terminal C ticketing for United domestic; Terminal E for United international. No United counter in Terminal A (use Terminal C). Bag drop usually closes 45 minutes before departure, so build that into your morning.
United's Terminal B north concourse expansion (22 new gates) is slated to open fall 2026; south concourse gate counts reduced during the rebuild. We confirmed United's current Terminals A, B, C, and E on June 27, 2026.
United international flights depart Terminal E (United international concourse); United domestic/regional from C, B and occasional Terminal A gates.
