United has today announced the opening of their second United Club Fly grab-and-go concession, this time at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas. Travelers can now quickly pick up snacks, coffees, and over beverages on their way to the gate.
On Tuesday (February 25, 2025), United Airlines announced the opening of their second United Fly Club grab-and-go location, this time at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, Texas. The concession has been designed for travelers who want a quick and convenient option to pick up a snack, beverage or barista-made coffee on the way to their flight. Customers will enjoy a seamless, self-scan entry with their boarding pass at automated entry gates. Offerings include fresh-squeezed orange juice, warmed pastries, wraps, salads, sandwiches and more. The full-service coffee bar offers barista-crafted beverages, while customers can visit the self-service beverage counter to refill water bottles, or grab non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks, iced tea and more.
In Tuesday’s announcement, United’s Club and Lounge Program Head, Alexander Dorow, said,
“We’re bringing elevated convenience to Houston with the opening of our second Club Fly location. Designed for on-the-go United Club members, Club Fly offers a club experience that matches the ways travelers' needs have evolved, especially when they’re pressed for time. Not all customers travel the same way and that encourages us to constantly look at new opportunities to add value to our club program and support travelers throughout their entire journey.”
United was the first U.S. airline to debut a grab-and-go concept with the opening of their first location in Denver in 2022. Since opening, over 300,000 travelers have visited the United Club Fly location in Denver. More than half of the customers transiting IAH are connecting passengers, and the new Houston club will improve the customer experience for time pressed travelers who want to quickly recharge and refuel before their flight. United’s newest Club Fly is located on the south side of IAH’s Terminal B and features a ‘Space City’ inspired design, reflecting Houston’s historic NASA connection.
