For tight connection windows (2-3 hours between arrival airport + departure airport), we operate dispatcher-coordinated tight-connection protocol — especially critical given Houston's Beltway 8 unpredictability + summer afternoon thunderstorm patterns:
FAA flight tracking on arriving flight. Dispatcher monitors departure delay + arrival ETA. Chauffeur pre-positioned outside arrivals area before flight lands at IAH Terminal A-E (5 terminals) or HOU single-terminal West/Central/East concourses.
Chauffeur at baggage claim with name placard. Priority luggage handling. IAH International arrivals (Terminal D): customs/immigration coordination + extended baggage claim time. Spanish + Portuguese + French + Mandarin language support on request for Latin American + international arrivals.
Dispatcher monitors real-time Houston freeway traffic. Re-routing decisions: Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway) vs I-45 + Hwy 288 alternates during peak congestion. Summer afternoon thunderstorm rerouting. Driver kept on standby for dispatcher instruction.
Premium curbside drop-off at correct departure terminal + departure airline. Porter handoff for international long-haul check-in at IAH Terminal D (United Polaris flagship lounge).

Cross-airport rideshare (Uber/Lyft) usable but: surge pricing during OTC + CERAweek + Houston Livestock Show + Rodeo + Texans NFL playoff peak demand, less reliable luggage capacity, no dispatcher coordination, no NDA-discreet protocol for energy industry + Texas Medical Center patient transport.
