Editorial snapshot
Flying to Houston suits the traveller who does their homework. Book domestic routes 4-6 weeks out for the best fares; international routes reward 8-12 weeks of advance planning. The city's size means you'll want a rental car or a comfortable relationship with Uber. Spring and autumn are the sweet spots — summer humidity is real, and the city floods more than its boosters tend to advertise.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
March, October, and November are Houston's sweet spots: mild temperatures, lower fares, and no hurricane season to worry about. Summer (June-August) brings oppressive humidity and peak domestic travel prices. December spikes around the holidays. If budget is your priority, January and February typically offer the lowest fares after the holiday rush fades.

IATA: IAH · 37 km from Downtown Houston · 29 km from Galleria district
IAH is Houston's primary international gateway and a major United Airlines hub, with five terminals (A through E) connected by an underground Skyway train. Terminal D handles most international arrivals and has dedicated US Customs and Border Protection facilities. Allow extra time during peak morning and evening banking hours when United operates dense connecting banks.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Ride-share (Uber/Lyft) | USD 35-55 | 30-50 min to Downtown |
| METRO Express Bus (Route 102) | USD 3.50 | 60-75 min to Downtown |
| Rental car | USD 40-80/day | 30-45 min to Downtown (traffic-dependent) |
IATA: HOU · 18 km from Downtown Houston · 11 km from Medical Center
Hobby is Houston's secondary airport, closer to the city center and dominated by Southwest Airlines, which operates the vast majority of its routes. The single-terminal layout makes it significantly easier to navigate than IAH, with shorter security lines and faster baggage claim. International flights from Hobby are limited to select Latin American destinations.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Ride-share (Uber/Lyft) | USD 20-35 | 20-35 min to Downtown |
| METRO Local Bus (Route 40) | USD 1.25 | 45-60 min to Downtown |
| Taxi (metered) | USD 30-45 | 20-35 min to Downtown |
