Flights to Houston

Like the Space Shuttle coming in for a landing, Houston plane tickets take travelers into an international headquarters for aeronautics and space exploration. The largest city in Texas is recognized worldwide as an important business hub, and travelers in ties will find all the amenities they want here. However, leisure travelers find even more to love in Houston, a town home not only to big hair and big hats, but most importantly, big hearts. You’ll find the cheapest flights to Houston right here on Travelocity, so you can maximize your vacation budget and experience every museum, ballpark, and art gallery on your list. It’s time to get going!

About Houston Airports

Flights to Houston will touch down at either the William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) or George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Where should you choose? HOU airport is located about 12 miles southeast of the city centre, while IAH is about 20 miles north, so it may be as simple as knowing your final destination. No matter where your Houston flight lands, you can rest assured that you will find top amenities at both of these Houston-area airports. Wait, do you hear that? It’s the soft strands of a live orchestra wafting into your ears, and it’s part of the Harmony in the Air performing arts program that takes place at both airports. As you appreciate the notes of classical and jazz music, you can also admire local art, as the Houston Airport System is actually home to one of the biggest art collections in Texas. Yes, these are just a few ways that Houston proves to all who visit that it is a cultural mecca worthy of pilgrimage.

Transportation from Houston Airports

Houston airfare will get you here, and from there you can count on Texas-sized infrastructure to get you to your accommodation and around the city. From IAH, Metro Bus Route 102 will drop you off at the Downtown Transit Center station, where you can connect with the light rail or take a taxi to your final destination. Pre-booked shuttles, whether through your hotel or otherwise, are another affordable way to get downtown from IAH. Hailing a taxi is always convenient, but can be pricy from this airport.

Metro Bus Route 40 is the friend of public transit-takers from HOU airport, stopping at Downtown Transit Center station and the Convention Center. Shuttles and taxis are faster options for getting to your hotel, and the expense is more reasonable than from IAH. From either airport, the fastest method of all is a rental car of your own. Book through Travelocity and you will be all set as soon as you arrive.
