All through the years I have traveled through IAH to get to dive locations but since moving to PHX I am finding it difficult to get to CZM without 5am flights which involve a pre-flight night in PHX (I live over 100 miles away from PHX) or because Arizona doesn't change their clocks (half year on Mtn time and other half on Pacific time) a layover at IAH because I can't get from PHX to IAH in time for the connection, (miss it by about 30 minutes).
I started looking at American Airlines and they seem to be offering some pretty good connections from PHX to DFW to CZM. The flight are later in the morning so I wouldn't have to do a pre-flight night in PHX. It would put me in CZM later in the day (like 4 pm) but that is fine.
So.. Question. I know IAH like the back of my hand but haven't been to DFW in many many years. In general, how is the airport to maneuver (costumes, TSA, connections, etc). I always allow 3 hours for the connection time at IAH on the way home and have plenty of time but the connection time at DFW to PHX is around 2 hours. Sometimes at IAH that could be pushing it pretty tight mostly because of the huge lines at the TSA security checkpoint after you go through customs.
Does anyone know if DFW has the GOES program (should) and/or the TSA PreCheck (IAH didn't as of the last time I went through) ?
Any comments would be welcome. Thanks !!
