jptocruise Posted December 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hi everyone, I am planning a cruise and have a couple questions that I hope someone can help me. Which airport is the closest to the port in Galveston? How far is it from the airport to the port? I know it is not recommended but we plan to fly in/out the same day we embark/disembark. Is it doable if we fly in early and fly out late in the day? Thanks in advance for all the help, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest has many flights to Hobby. Sure, it's doable, but not recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRum Posted December 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2017 We used Galveston Limousine for transportation to and from Hobby in Sept. Great service both ways. We are using them again in Feb when we go out of Galveston again. Enjoy your cruise! JoeRum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say that you add the height, width & length, they can't be over 30", one large suitcase is over that size, are they strict on this? If so it is an extra $20.00 per suitcase.

jamesr3939 Posted December 7, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I would never fly in day of. But have flown out of HOB twice on debarkation day. Traffic is usually very light as it's either a Saturday or Sunday. I always shop transport via limos.com. I have used them in TX twice and FL 7-8 times. They have always worked out well.
