Galveston Cruiser Posted February 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Houston Hobby is the closest. approximately 30 miles. IAH is approximately 70 miles. Yes, you have to fly into Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eng23 Posted February 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2013 As others stated, these are the two airports that serve Galveston. Houston is a large enough city to support two airports. Houston Hobby (HOU) is the closest to Galveston and Southwest has a large presence there. Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is farther away from Galveston but is a much larger international airport and is a hub airport for United Airlines. Transfer costs will be higher from IAH than HOU so be sure to include that in your calculations of which airline/airport will be better for you to fly into.

brooklynfc Posted February 19, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks! I've never cruised out of Galveston before so its going to be new all around to me. But its the same distance from VA as FL is. But the cost (at least what I can see for nov. 2013) is going to be about $150 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryl12 Posted February 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the info. We are flying into IAH next week for our cruise. I think maybe the Princess shuttle is the best answer for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
