Booking flights now. Is it worth flying into Hobby over Bush for a Galveston cruise, or does it not matter much?

Hobby is the closer airport, about 40 miles and about 1 hour to the port, versus about 70 miles and about 2 hours from IAH. If the fares and times are similar, Hobby saves you road time and is a simpler terminal. Either way, we serve both at the same $39 protected fare. See the Hobby guide and IAH guide.

Hobby whenever I can. Less driving after a long flight.
