Houston or Hobby

[luvscruising2007]

I was reviewing my flight to Houston and the airport code is HOU. Which airport is that? We will be flying in on Southwest.:confused:

HOU = William P. Hobby Airport, Houston, TX

IAH = George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston, TX

As the previous poster indicated, you will be flying into Hobby Airport which is much smaller and easier to "navigate" AND is much closer - only an easy 30-minute trip - to the cruise terminals in Galveston.

Thanks guys, that's what I thought but just verifying. I like all of my ducks in a row.;)

What would be the best way to get to Glaveston from Hobby? Is there a bus?

or would a taxi be best?

You can try calling Galveston Limousine (they're buses, not limousines). I think it's a $30-$45 ride from Hobby to Galveston. Their number is 409-740-5466. Well, at least that was before the storm. Hopefully they've had their phone service restored since then, but don't be surprised if you get an error message when you call. You could try a cab, but that might end up being more expensive.
