When we're on the road, rather than always picking an airport that is close to our destination, we try to see if there might be another airport that would better fit our travel plans.<1> To help with your planning, the following list of airports is organized by type and proximity to Houston.

Please keep in mind that these airports were chosen based on their air-distance from Houston. You should check the map and see how accessible they are when considering one airport over another.
