Publications

The best source for news and information in Houston and southeast Texas is the Houston Chronicle (www.chron.com), containing thorough coverage of city and state happenings as well as detailed listings of restaurants and entertainment venues. For specific information about local politics, touring shows, and movie listings, pick up a free copy of the Houston Press (www.houstonpress.com) at bars, coffee shops, and bus stations across town.

GETTING THERE

Air

The major air hub in this part of the country is George Bush Intercontinental Airport (2800 N. Terminal Rd., 281/230-3100, www.fly2houston.com), located just north of the city. This is one of United Airlines’s major hubs, and since this airport offers nonstop service to and from more than 170 cities around the world, it’s typically hustling and bustling at all hours of the day and night. The city’s old airfield, William P. Hobby Airport (7800 Airport Blvd., 713/640-3000, www.fly2houston.com) is now the center of activity for Southwest Airlines and hosts flights from several other major carriers. Located 10 miles southeast of downtown, Hobby is more accessible than Bush, but it’s showing its age. That’s often deemed forgivable by travelers who prefer the accessibility and cheaper cab fares (nearly $20 less than the trek from Bush to downtown Houston).

SuperShuttle (281/230-7275, www.supershuttle.com) offers shuttle service to and from area hotels and Bush Intercontinental and Hobby Airports. Look for the company’s ticket counters in the lower-level baggage claim areas of Bush and Hobby. Many downtown-area hotels offer free shuttle service to and from Bush Intercontinental Airport, but check first to make sure they’re running.
