IAH: International-domestic connection 70 minutes

Is that enough time to transit?? It will be our first time connecting through IAH. Arriving from FRA-IAH on CO at 5:50pm (I guess at Terminal E ?) and then IAH - STL (Continental Express, so Terminal B ?). If we don't have any checked luggage, I think this will be fine, but we have 1 checked luggage and based on our past history, ours usually come out next to last in the carousel. This is also the last flight out of IAH.

Thanks.

On some days yes, but on other days no.

I agree. It's going to be tight.

Thanks for the feedback.

I guess its a legal connection according to continental.com.I am unsure whether to chance it, though.

Yes it will likely be tight but it is doable. Just don't schedule anything important back home that depends on your making the connection. And since you are on CO all the way if you miss the connection they should rebook you on the next morning's first flight and put you in a hotel for the night.

They will put the OP in a hotel only if the FRA flight was late due to CO's problem, and not weather-related (which is most likely the case). Otherwise, CO will only give out discount coupons for one of the hotels near IAH, but not complimentary.
