wrp96 Posted August 21, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2006 There are two choices of airports: Houston Hobby (HOU) is the closest at about 45 minutes to an hour away from the port. It is serviced by Southwest and Airtran and a few of the major carriers. Most cruiselines do not offer transfers from Hobby. George Bush (IAH) is about 1.5 to 2 hours from Galveston but will have a greater selection of flights as it is serviced by all the major carriers, and is Continental's hub. Transport to the port: Shuttle services like www.galvestonlimo.com are popular. Another option is to rent a car, but be aware of the one way drop off fees. I used a private limo service, which is the other popular option. For us it ended up being only slightly more expensive than a shuttle service, and less expensive than a rental car due to when we were sailing.
