Getting to Houston

Have you already thought about how you're getting to Houston?? Let us offer some advice: Houston has two ariports that carry all the major airlines, the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and the William P. Hobby Airport (Hou). IAH is the hub for Continental Airlines and offer services to many major cities. Southwest Airlines predominantly serves the Hobby Airport. Both airports are a short drive into town with Hobby being the closer, yet smaller airport. IAH is located ~20 miles North of town on US-59, and Hobby is East of town on I-45S.

You can schedule airport transfer through SuperShuttle and they will pick you up at either airport and deliver you to the InterContental Hotel for ~$19 from Hobby and ~$21 from IAH.

Taxi rides to the hotel are ~$45-60 depending on the airport and final destination.
