A hospitality space at IAH for U.S. armed forces members and their families.

About this lounge

The USO Center at Houston George Bush Intercontinental is a hospitality space for the U.S. military community rather than a standard commercial airport lounge. It welcomes U.S. Armed Forces active duty, Reserve and Guard service members, along with their families, giving them a quiet place to rest between flights. As with USO centers elsewhere, the focus is on comfort and respite for travelling service members, with complimentary snacks and soft drinks available. Because access is restricted to eligible members of the military community and their families, it isn't a pay-in or membership lounge for the general public. If you're an eligible service member travelling through IAH, it's a welcoming spot to relax away from the main terminal.
