romandog Posted February 1, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Can anyone tell me which airport you would fly to in order to cruise out of this port, and how far from the airport is it? Thanks for you help, as we may want to cruise from this port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romandog Posted February 1, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted February 1, 2011 sorry to sound dumb, but what is hobby? What is the cheapest way to get to the pier from the airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akitkat118 Posted February 1, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2011 When I left from Galveston once we flew into Houston. It's probably about 45 minutes away. I was with friends who lived there so we had a ride... can't help on how you would get to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajacks Posted February 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hobby is one of the Houston airports. It is much closer to Galveston than Bush International. There are several shuttle services that can get you to port. Check out the Gulf Coast Departures board...lots of info there! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak89 Posted February 3, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The airport code you want is HOU (for Houston Hobby). If you choose to fly into IAH (Bush Airport) you will be nearly 2 hours (with moderate traffic) away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnbigd Posted February 4, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If can, try Southwest Airlines into Hobby Airport. Hobby is south of Houston; Bush Intercontinental is north of Houston. Hobby is closer to Galveston. And Southwest Airlines won't charge for your luggage (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted February 4, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Can anyone tell me which airport you would fly to in order to cruise out of this port, and how far from the airport is it? Thanks for you help, as we may want to cruise from this port. With airlines - Jet Blue, Frontier and Southwest into Hobby now, and expansion of Southwest routes, there are more available flights are into Hobby Airport, that make it more accessable and easier to get to Galveston. Airports according to galveston.com / interact and discover / maps and directions 31 miles to Galveston from Hobby Airport 54 miles to Galveston from Bush Airport With the New Carnival Magic and move of RCL Mariner and Carnival Triumpth into Galveston, improvements are being made on a continuing basis.
