Houston Flights

A little bit country and a little bit culturally-polished, the Houston Metropolitan Area in Texas provides both boot-kicking fun and serious business. The city is home to NASA’s space program and top oil industry giants, but Houston is also full of history. The American West and Texas’ battle for independence from Mexico have a voice at the San Jacinto Museum of History, while guided historical architecture and haunted Houston tours are additional places to get a sense of the past.

While you’re in town, enjoy a culinary treat where barbeque isn’t just a food, it’s a lifestyle. Have some Tex-Mex, too, before dancing the night away in a honkytonk with cowboy-booted Houstonians. Catch a show from world-renowned theatres or watch a caballero rope cattle at a rodeo show. There’s so much to do in this city, so book cheap flights to Houston on Expedia.com.au today.

Best Time to Travel

Peak Season:

Fall and spring in Houston have pleasant, mild weather. Temperatures hover around 15 and 21 degrees Celsius. Between March and May you can experience the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the largest in the world. Bring clothing to stay dry if you book a ticket between October and November, as it’s known to rain during these months.

Shoulder Season:

Winters in Houston see temperatures between 11 and 14 degrees Celsius. It’s cooler than peak season, but you won’t have to worry about snow fall. You’ll also find budget-friendly flights to Houston between December and February.

Off Season:

Houston summers, between May and August, experience temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, along with humidity and rain showers. If you’re visiting during the off season, enjoy the Freedom Over Texas Festival or the Houston Beer Festival.

Houston Airport and Transfer Information

George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)

Distance: 33 km north of downtown Houston

One of the busiest hubs in the United States, IAH has five terminals, a Skyway Tram, Subway, and bus system that connect them all. Once your flight lands, you can also easily access taxis, ride shares, and private cars outside each terminal to your final destination. Meanwhile, if you plan to visit NASA or the beaches at Galveston, reserving your own Texas-size pickup truck on Expedia.com.au is always an option.

If it’s the Houston Zoo or Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens you’re after, catch the METRO bus on the south side of Terminal C toward downtown. Once you arrive in the heart of the city, you can easily take any number of other routes or the light rail to get around from there.

How to survive the flight to Houston?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Houston holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Houston?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Houston, here you come:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
