Cheap Flights from Miami International (MIA) to Houston (HOU)

If you’re taking the flight route from ocean-side Miami to the scintillating urban heat of Houston, you’ll be travelling across the balmy waters of the Gulf of Mexico to land in the most populated city in Texas, on the sun-drenched shores of Galveston Bay. This travel advice from Skyscanner will help make sure that your flight from Miami to Houston is worry free, and you get to your destination in the best time.

Flight Route Options

Houston has two airports, George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), and Houston Hobby (HOU). However, all non-stop flights from Miami to Houston currently land in IAH, and are carried by American and Delta airlines. Your journey time will be approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes. Of course, if you choose to take a connecting flight, you will have more flight and route options.

Starting out at Miami Airport

You will find quite a few choices available to get you to Miami Airport. If you’re near Miami Central Station, you can take the MIA Mover train, which will deliver you directly to the airport, on the 3rd level between the Dolphin and Flamingo Garages. From the central station, you can also take the Metrobus and Metrorail. If you’ve been renting a car in Miami, you’ll be happy to know that the Miami Mover makes a stop at the car rental center, so it may be possible to drop your car off and catch a quick ride to the airport from there.

Landing in Houston

Direct flights from Miami to Houston only arrive to George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), so you’ll most likely be landing there. Each of the airport’s five terminals are linked by subway and skyway, so you won’t have problems getting around, no matter which terminal you land in. The airport is mainly designed for people to come and go by car or taxi, and has numerous parking and pick-up options. If you have a party meeting you, make sure to let them know your arrival terminal as each terminal has separate parking lots. You can check this on the IAH airport website. If you’re looking to rent a car, Skyscanner’s convenient Houston car rental searcher will help you find the best deals for wheels in Houston.

Both airports in Houston have free Wi-Fi, so you’ll have no trouble staying in touch as soon as your plane touches down.
