Search Houston Flights

The state of Texas is full of great cities like San Antonio, Dallas and (of course) Houston. How come “of course, Houston”? Because that’s where one of the greatest barbecue joints in the world is located, along with NASA’s mission control centre. And believe us, it’s where you should plant yourself for a few days after you browse Wotif’s great deals on cheap flights to Houston.

Getting Around Houston

The public transport in this city is pretty great, so you don’t have to worry about getting around. After your flight to Houston lands at George Bush International Airport (IAH), 32km from the city centre, you can take a taxicab, a shuttle bus or ride one of the courtesy shuttles to the front door of your hotel. Once you’re in the city, the METRORail is perfect for exploring all parts of town.

When You Land…

There are a bunch of flights to Houston that land in the morning and if you’re on one, good for you. Hopefully you didn’t fill up on airplane food, because you need to get to the Breakfast Klub and chow down a plate of chicken-fried steak and eggs. That’ll give you enough energy to run around Hermann Park, where many museums are located.

If you’re arriving in the afternoon, skip the park and head straight for the Toyota Centre for cold beers and a Rockets basketball game.

Live Like a Local

If you want to blend in with the locals, don’t go to the vegan restaurant down the street. Do you know where you should go instead? To Killen’s Barbecue in nearby Pearland. You’ve never seen a plate of brisket and bowl of mac and cheese this massive. Be sure to buy a souvenir T-shirt, too.

Everything’s bigger in Texas. At least, that’s what the Texans think. If you want to find out how true that sentiment actually is, check out Wotif’s fine offers on accommodation in Houston and go there now. And then when that’s over with, browse our great deals on New Orleans holidays and take the 48-minute flight to “The Big Easy”. Be sure to bring enough beads for Bourbon Street!
