Question about Galveston?

[ddmaxed99]

Which airport is the best to fly into? (hobby or IAH?)

 

Also how do people normally get from the airports to the actual port?

 

THANKS SO MUCH!!

Depends. Hobby is much closer (45 minutes vs. 1-1/2 hour from IAH) but there are a lot more flight choices into IAH. Southwest only flies into Hobby though.

thanks,

 

does anyone else have any info on getting from the airport to the actual port. Carnival has transportation for $66 pp roundtrip. Does that seem like a good deal?

You can fiind more info at www.galveston.com or check the local hotels there.

We flew into IAH in March-we did everything through the travel agency, and the transfers were included in the price as a bonus.

 

It was hard to find them, since while the other bus companies had signs on their clipboards, Carnival didn't, and were hard to find to boot. We almost missed it before we saw a long line forming and decided to ask.

 

It took about 20 mins. from there to load the bus, and it was just over an hour's drive to the pier. I've never been to Hobby, but IAH was fine-we usually fly out of Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ), which is a HUGE airport, so IAH was nothing to us. ;) I would use the transfers again though, unless hiring a private driver would be cheaper (limos are about $50/hour in Toronto). But then the porters would be licking their chops seeing you pull up in a limo, lol. :D
