Brandon LeinenbachNovember 5, 2014I love this airport, it's so much easier than IAH. The easiest way to get out of Houston!!
This aiport is gorgeous! The rennovation turned out extraordinary! Kudos to the city of Houston!
Pappasito,s cantina is the best! I love having a local Houston restaurant in the airport. If you crave tex mex this is the place to go!
DoubleTree by Hilton ManagerSeptember 22, 2011Long flight? Peanuts are okay, but bringing a filling, healthy snack like almonds or fruit will keep you tied over until your destination. For more travel tips and fun, follow @DoubleTree on Twitter!
go to the international terminal (gate 1-5) to enjoy a quieter experience. The Peet’s coffee located there is better and you have more food choices than the main terminal- Don't use the drop off section of the airport. You have to carry your bags downstairs. Just go to the arrival part & go right to baggage check in
Good craft beer to go down by gate 20. left hand nitro stout and real ale devils backbone
Belinda RickmanSeptember 14, 2014Be sure to check your boarding pass. If it says TSA PRE you can skip the long security lines. Go start thru security without taking shoes off and the line is really short.
Theresa Quezada SalazarJune 25, 2013Free refills on your black/green iced tea at Peet's. Next to gate #40. Makes the price a little easier to handle. Tasty too.
Hobby finally has upgraded the terminals and better food places have been added! If you're running late Subway has been added and is serving breakfast (at normal prices too)!
Houston’s smaller airport. Easy to navigate and great food options.
DoubleTree by HiltonSeptember 27, 2011Keeping liquids in checked baggage is always your best bet, but if you aren’t checking luggage, predetermine how much liquid security allows and plan ahead to avoid losing your favorite shampoo!
Eco park 2 is the best place to park. Only $8 a day and it is right next to the terminal door.
CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 27, 2012Hobby has an array of restaurants in the central concourse including Pappasito's Catina, Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, and Hunan Return of the Phoenix.- Glenn CarrJuly 5, 2013You've got to get a pulled pork loaded potato and a margarita at Pappas BBQ! Amazing! Now I'm glad I had a layover! :)
SJ SimonDecember 11, 2018The valet parking is a great option and the folks there provide excellent service.
Ann GlennMarch 9, 2013There are giant spider webs in the ceiling here that i am convinced hold a giant spider the kind seen in #syfy movies.
Hobby is not like Austin Bergstrom. To check bags in to Southwest Airlines you need to do it before 45mins of departure. In Austin it is 30mins. Otherwise your bag will be marked "Late Checkin".
Lauryn MillSeptember 5, 2014The smaller airport in Houston on the south side of town. No free wifi, but you can get it for free at Papadeaux's.
Love flying out of Hobby. It's much more calm than IAH, and the Southwest staff is always so friendly & helpful
BluEyed GurlJuly 11, 2014Papas Burgers near gate 45.....bring a friend! these burgers are 'da bomb & HUGE!
TerrySeptember 3, 2014Way more room on southwest flights than united flights, also more pleasant staff.
Insider Tip: The only Chick-Fil-A in airport is in the International Terminal next to Gate 1. You've been warned.
Kaleb FulghamJune 3, 2013For great coffee, visit Southside Espresso, Catalina, Blacksmith, Inversion, and Agora
Derrick WilliamsJune 3, 2013Very tech friendly airport as I don't have to wonder from gate to gate looking for an available outlet.
Amber RampinoOctober 2, 2011Pro tip: dress for the weather you're traveling too, not coming from. Flip flops up north in October ate a gamble Houston ;)
Chad MizeeMarch 11, 2014I'm normally a breakfast burrito guy, but Breakfast Stromboli combo at Barry's is a tasty deal.- Jennifer PelacheJuly 10, 2014Buffalo wild wings has a great breakfast with awesome mimosas to start your travel day
Joel ReedJanuary 20, 2015Not a bad airport. They have a Peet's Coffee in lieu of Starbucks. A couple of Pappa-eateries.
If you are picking up someone, tell them to meet you outside all the way down. (Across from the taxi stand). Less congestion.
Kandi SteinerMarch 26, 2013Barry's Pizza had great food at an awesome price. Best way to spend your layover. :)
Josh HowardJanuary 5, 2013This particular plane has a maintenance problem. I just want to go home. So, my tip, I guess, is to let off some steam by cursing the gods of flight for slowing you down.
In and out very fast here and sporting the friendly service of Southwest Airlines.
Skycaps work for tips that's how they make their living. According to the skycap who checked me in at the curbside service for southwest. So tip.... If they did a good job
Though the airport is thumbs down in neatness, handling security lines is good especially for frequent travelers.
UrbanyouseeFebruary 25, 2013If you fly Southwest, you can use your mobile device to track flight status during the flight; but you will need to pay $8 to use the wifi.
Please save the chairs with Power Outlets those who need the hard-to-find electricity.
Security line gets busy for those Sunday 5-730 flights, so keep that in mind when planning your day
HJ SylvesterJune 1, 2013Middle seat etiquette is you get both armrests b/c you're the only one with no leaning room. Wish everyone knew this! Pass it on!
sugardaddie.comNovember 29, 2013If you fly SouthWest you are probably coming through here. No free wifi and the security line may look daunting but all in a pretty decent airport to come through.
