Cheap flights from Chicago (CHI) to Houston (HOU)

After picking up your rental car at the George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (IAH), it's only a hop, skip and a short drive from the airport to the heart of Houston. Whether here for leisure or business, let your inner "foodie" out and savor an assortment of Texas dishes at Oxheart downtown. You can park your rental car in one of the many conveniently located parking garages, and take a walk to the Houston Pavilions; an entertainment district nestled between Main Street and the Toyota Center.

Key Facts

Consider purchasing a Houston CityPASS for reduced admission and expedited entry to several popular attractions, including the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Houston Zoo and Space Center Houston, home to a replica of one of the shuttles. Park your rental car by Memorial Park to take a casual stroll or do some biking.

Hints and Tips

From gate to gate, it will take you more than two hours to fly from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (IAH). While driving your rental car in Houston, be aware of the one-way service roads that run parallel to most freeways. You'll need to take a different ramp to get onto your desired freeway if you take these so-called "feeders." HOV lanes cannot be accessed from the feeder roads.
