Should be fine but don't dilly-dally while walking between gates.

Should be plenty of time even if your gates are far apart.

I don't think United flies to Hobby--but not positive. You should not have a problem at either airport, however. Have a great visit in Corpus Christi!

I assumed Bush because I don't think those puddle jumpers jump off from Hobby...

1h15m is plenty of time to connect at IAH. You will most likely arrive from Boston into terminal C, and depart for Corpus Christi from terminal B. You connect between the two terminals without leaving the secure area by using the train linking the terminals. Signage is good, should be no problem.

I assumed it was Bush as well. I fly United through Houston all the time and have never had a flight through Hobby.

This is completely off the subject but I still call in Intercontinental. I just can't get used to calling it Bush.

Actually, P_M, nor can I, and I don't call National (in DC), Reagan, either.

I say "Houston International" and "Houston Hobby". If someone says "Bush", I don't know what they are talking about without thinking about it.

Artifact from the days when I lived in the Memorial area and drove to IAH, I still call it Houston Intergalactic.

Intergalactic! Is that really what it was called? That's excellent--I am using it from now on.

It was called Intercontinental, but I like Intergalactic a lot more.

Intergalactic would be a good name for NASA.

I guess I thought "Intergalactic" might have been a reference to the space program in Houston, P_M. Ambitious!

All my Cantonese speaking relatives refer the two as "big airport" and "small airport". So easy.
