Do you have any tips for my flight to Houston?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Houston escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Houston?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Houston in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.

Houston Flights

A little bit country and a little bit culturally-polished, the Houston Metropolitan Area in Texas provides both boot-kicking fun and serious business. The city is home to NASA’s space program and top oil industry giants, but Houston is also full of history. The American West and Texas’ battle for independence from Mexico have a voice at the San Jacinto Museum of History, while guided historical architecture and haunted Houston tours are additional places to get a sense of the past.

While you’re in town, enjoy a culinary treat where barbeque isn’t just a food, it’s a lifestyle. Have some Tex-Mex, too, before dancing the night away in a honkytonk with cowboy-booted Houstonians. Catch a show from world-renowned theatres or watch a caballero rope cattle at a rodeo show. There’s so much to do in this city, so book cheap flights to Houston on Expedia.com.au today.

Best Time to Travel

Peak Season:

Fall and spring in Houston have pleasant, mild weather. Temperatures hover around 15 and 21 degrees Celsius. Between March and May you can experience the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the largest in the world. Bring clothing to stay dry if you book a ticket between October and November, as it’s known to rain during these months.

Shoulder Season:

Winters in Houston see temperatures between 11 and 14 degrees Celsius. It’s cooler than peak season, but you won’t have to worry about snow fall. You’ll also find budget-friendly flights to Houston between December and February.

Off Season:

Houston summers, between May and August, experience temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, along with humidity and rain showers. If you’re visiting during the off season, enjoy the Freedom Over Texas Festival or the Houston Beer Festival.

Houston Airport and Transfer Information

George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)

Distance: 33 km north of downtown Houston

One of the busiest hubs in the United States, IAH has five terminals, a Skyway Tram, Subway, and bus system that connect them all. Once your flight lands, you can also easily access taxis, ride shares, and private cars outside each terminal to your final destination. Meanwhile, if you plan to visit NASA or the beaches at Galveston, reserving your own Texas-size pickup truck on Expedia.com.au is always an option.

If it’s the Houston Zoo or Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens you’re after, catch the METRO bus on the south side of Terminal C toward downtown. Once you arrive in the heart of the city, you can easily take any number of other routes or the light rail to get around from there.
