Air Transportation

George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) are the most convenient choices when flying into Houston. From Bush, it’s about a 30-minute drive/ride downtown to the convention center and host hotels while Hobby is about 25 minutes away.

Airport Check-In: In general, the airlines and the Transportation Security Administration recommend that passengers arrive at the airport at least two (2) hours before domestic flights. This allows ample time for you to check-in for your flight, check baggage and go through security screening. If you need to park, return a rental car or ride a shuttle from the airport parking area, be sure to include extra time for that.
