Footlongs and quick sandwiches in Terminal B
This Subway sits in Terminal B at George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), so it mainly serves United Express regional flights. It’s post-security, which means it works for anyone already through screening in B who needs something handheld to take to the gate.
Expect the usual Subway lineup: 6-inch and footlong subs, basic salads, and fountain drinks. Pricing at airport locations generally runs higher than street stores, so plan on around $10–$15 for a footlong with a drink. It’s counter-service only, so you order, move down the line for toppings, pay, and go.
Terminal B’s food options lean heavily toward fast food, and this Subway fits that pattern. Sandwiches are built to order in a few minutes, which works if your United Express boarding time is 30 minutes out and you don’t want to rely on buy-on-board snacks. You’ll see the standard bread choices and the usual cold cuts and veggie toppings.
Portions match regular Subway stores: a 6-inch is fine as a light meal, a footlong works if you’re skipping plane food on a 3–4 hour flight. Veggie-heavy builds hold up better on the walk from the counter to the B gates than heavily sauced hot sandwiches, especially if your gate is deep in the B North or B South piers.
Subway in Terminal B is mainly about predictability and speed. If your layover is under 45 minutes and you’re already in B, this beats hiking to another terminal for something fancier. Tip: ask for your sandwich double-wrapped so it survives being stuffed into a personal item under the seat on a full United Express flight.
