Nice small airport. Easy to navigate. Mostly southwest flies from here with a few other airlines. Everything seems on time and orderly. There are places to eat get coffee or essentials. Plenty of places to sit while waiting flight.

William P. Hobby Airport Houston is usually considered as a small airport, but big don't see it that way. Yea, it might be smaller than the usual international airports we are used to, but I think this a very decent and nice airport. I flew southwest at the airport, and the services were very ok. They had enough self-service points that one didn't have to wait long to use one. The airport is well equipped with all the facilities required. The security points were on point as well, they did their jobs so well and swiftly. They have an underground parking lot, and they also allow pick-up amd drop-off points where you can drop-off your passenger and pick-up quickly. One thing though, even though this might not be particularly related to the Willam P. Hobby Airport, the traffic to get there is alot, so you need to bear that in mind, so you don't miss you flight. I think I got a bit lucky because the flight was delayed a bit. Oh! I forgot to mention that they have kiddies playing ground. It's so cool, when you have kids and I have to wait for a long flight, rather than the kids been cranky, they could just play and while away time. I think is has to be one of the coolest things to find in an airport. In general, William P. Hobby Airport is a good alternative of airports for people to try. Yea, it might not be the big ones we are used, but I believe they are as good as the others. So, give William P. Hobby Airport a try today. 🙂

It’s a decent hotel for what it is. It is mostly a Southwest hub, and it can be nice to fly in and out of here if you are going to be in more of the southern part of Houston. The airport is a little confusing a navigate especially for the rideshare areas. I do wish the hotel had more like lounge areas (even if affiliated with Priority Pass).

So I need to start it by saying that although not born in Houston I have been here most of my life and consider this home. I’ve flown out of both airports and recently traveled out of Hobby and was impressed. It longs like they have been working hard at making it easy for families to travel. I traveled for the first time with my four year old daughter and we loved that they had a play area for children!!! Major points to hobby and bathrooms very clean and modern. Keep up the work hobby airport.

No big crowds. No forever lines. No curbside check for bags. Sometimes there will be a wait to get your bags checked, it's true. Sometimes the security backs up a good bit, yes. Last time i was here a while marching band was in line in front of me, tubas + all, so it took a while to get processed. But once you're thru, it's a breeze to get to your gate. Lots of opportunities for a quick pre-flight drink or a coffee. Taste Houston in any number of little spots in here. Restrooms are fine. Traffic is minimal for both drop-offs + pick ups. There's a Cell Phone Waiting Lot for easy pick ups. Love this place!

Another lovely airport. Take time to see the art and grab a bite. Pappadeaux's was a good decision. I was able to indulge in good food and good service, and people watch. Yes, that's a Poodle.😊

This was our first visit to the Houston Hobby Airport. We were impressed by the many amenities and services at this airport. We flew in on frontier airlines. It's a smaller airport but have a lot of food and shopping options. Going through security was quick and easy with very little wait time. We rented from Hertz and they had a shuttle bus that picked up out front. The signage for shuttle pickup was clearly marked. It was quick and easy getting to I-10 from the airport.

This is a great airport to fly in and out of when visiting Houston. It’s in a great location easy to get in and out of. The TSA process was easy, and there is not a real long walk to any of the gates. The airport is clean and modern. Comfortable seating, clean bathrooms, and plenty of phone charging ports. For a smaller airport, there is a decent selection of eating options.

Very cool exhibits of Texan history and pride, modernized layout and definitely tons of open space, with a far more modest pre-security lobby. Restrooms are "Texas size", but closing just one results in a line out the door for the others -- even the guys had to wait outside when this happened!

Fantastic airport small enough that you feel like you’re not having to walk too far from the TSA checkpoint to your gate. Also gotta love the parking lot that has red and green to indicate if there is an opening down a specific aisle. The cell phone parking lot isn’t too far from the airport either. and also the majority of rental place parking lots for drop off are pretty close to the airport as well. I find the facilities from the parking garage to the walkway inside and outside of the airport to be pretty clean and pristine. Bathrooms have always been clean and well stocked. Despite this being about 10 minutes further away from Bush International Airport, I really enjoy this airport.

Airport has great vibes. I love the bathroom it was so chic modern and extremely clean. They had a band playing concerts in the hall as you walked to baggage claim. I loved the NASA items on display. I was able to learn some history. I'll be back!!

Often the Hobby TSA check-in line is longer and slower than the regular line. That takes talent to do that so regularly. Don’t check a bag because receiving your bag in Hobby always takes an hour or more and is always a huge cluster F. Tonight’s special was one of the belts wouldn’t operate in baggage claim. Genius. 8 flights were backed up waiting on luggage for 1 belt. What a mess for such a simple process. Hobby airport cut your long baggage belts in half to provide twice as many belts for luggage. There’s no need for your baggage belts to snake around for 200 feet. Getting picked up by a family member in the passenger pickup area is also a consistent circus as well. Horrible service at Hobby airport. The management doesn’t seem to care at all. I don’t know who gave Hobby airport any kind of awards for the banners in the lobby. Mediocre airport overall.

The airport is clean and all the staff were friendly. I flew Southwest and they just had a storm but we were not delayed or canceled. There's lots of places to eat lots of place to sit and there's free wifi. They did have a problem finding flight attendants for our flight. But it didn't delay our flight at all.. Overall I would definitely use their airport again usually. I used dallas fort worth but this was my assigned airport for the overlay which was two hours but it went fast. I actually grabbed a bite to eat at wendy's and fell asleep on the flight.

I love this Airport , easy to board and very clean . Was also very easy to find the luggage belt and to get out front for my pick up without congestion of vehicles coming and going . Amazing ! I was able to get a slice of bacon and a fresh cup of coffee under 4.00 .I gave the girl a dollar tip. In heard of in an Airport. I will be definitely using this Airport to travel when visiting my kids and Grandchildren.

It's easy to pass through the TSA and gate if you are flying with Southwest Airlines no need to enter the train. It's a walking distance.

Hobby is the best airport in the nation. Lines are extremely small for an airport in a big city, and the actual airport is spacious and clean. The restaurants are very good for the size of the airport, offering a wide selection of food choices ranging from BBQ to seafood to fast food. If you’re flying Southwest, don’t even hesitate to fly into Hobby vs Bush. You won’t regret it, and once you experience it once, you’ll never want to fly into Bush again!

Went there for a transit flight to Cancun, Mexico. The screens are large, and enthusiastic for passengers to know what they can do for now and encourages them. The play zone is great, since it represents NASA. Chick-Fil-A is good there, and some other restaurants that look familiar to the 70s. Image is a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 at Gate 3.

Nice big "little" airport. Easy to get in and out of. So easy to find your way around and plenty of seating for waiting for take off. The luggage claims NEED HELP!!! Two times being there, the incoming flights stand around not knowing what carousel their luggage will be on. So many flights at same time that they will have 2-3 flights on one carousel. Often you see your luggage before they will announce the carousel. So much chaos and disorganization at the luggage carousel. Not many places to sit or stand when so many flights coming in at same time. There needs to be improvements made there.

Technically, it should be four stars, minus one for baggage claim, but it’s clean, clean, clean, thoughtfully designed, everyone is super polite, the security has good flow. Excellent experience flying out. Baggage claim needs some signs by the chairs that explain the “we don’t know where it’s going until the driver picks a belt” policy and says what bags are where. You either have to keep getting up to check the one screen or hope you don’t miss an announcement. Crackling good wifi and better communication would shorten the psychological wait time.

This is a great airport. Big enough to get you to a lot of destinations and small enough to be easy to navigate. Lots of food and some nice bar options like GastroPub. All flights were on time. VictorB

Very clean Airport. A lot of different food and restaurants to choose from. It’s very easy to get around the airport to the gates. They have an awesome gift shop.

Hobby airport improved quite a bit a few years ago but it's not up to the mark anymore. It looks a little dates, last time I visited a lot of kiosks we're out of order, even at 3a, there were a lot of people and long lines (granted it was end of new year's holidays) - the airport just looks small for the number of people here. I liked the fact that the (long) security line clearly showed how much time it was taking to get to the security point, and it was updating in real time.

WPH Airport is really nice. They have an indoor playground for kids, plenty of food establishments, and it is clean. The only thing I did not like was the location of the BBQ restaurant. It is located on the outside of the security perimeter. But at the same time, it is a great location for friends, families, and co workers to eat and say their last good bye's or wait for loved ones traveling in.

Nice airport with paid parking and easy to get to. About 24 minutes from downtown Houston. Has shops and mini food vendors to choose from. (Airport prices of course) For gamers, there is a game play by gate 1. If you are Priority Pass, you can use your pass for 1 hour of gaming and also 1 drink and snack for free. ENJOY!

It absolutely lacks customer service!! It's much better than Bush international Airport but I encountered multiple unprofessional and rude employees. We understand they deal with a lot of people, but that is their job. You would expect professionalism and courtesy, but all I saw was employees acting careless, talking about their personal lives loudly, screaming at people, yelling for lunch and a break, saying they didn't care if their managers didn't, and were treating us like cattle. I was quite disappointed at this airport, however, people have no other choice but to go through the mistreatment to be able to make it to their destination.

A cool place where you can convert your car driving to airplane flying! Smooth sailing through security. Plenty of options to eat as long as you like Pappadeaux‘s or Pappasito’s. My kids think the best thing to eat is the astronaut ice cream though!!

The airport is kept clean and it is easy to get around but as usual there are significant delays getting luggage from the plane to baggage claim. Its currently holiday season but I've traveled during the holidays before and never had such a delay with baggage claim.Today my plane landed at 10:05pm and it's now 11pm and I still don't have my bags. People from other flights have also stated that they've been waiting over an hour as well. Extremely frustrating to say the least. This is a big negative for an otherwise good experience at this airport. *Update: Finally received my bags at 11:25pm.

William P. Hobby Airport (IATA: HOU, ICAO: KHOU, FAA LID: HOU) is an international airport in Houston, Texas, 7 miles (11 km) from downtown Houston. Hobby is Houston's oldest commercial airport and was its primary airport until Houston Intercontinental Airport, now George Bush Intercontinental Airport, opened in 1969. Hobby closed after the opening of Houston Intercontinental; after several years it re-opened and became a secondary airport for domestic airline service and a center for corporate and private aviation Houston Hobby is an operating base for Southwest Airlines, which has international and domestic flights from HOU and carries the vast majority of its passengers. Houston Hobby is the fifth largest airport in Southwest's network as of December 2017. Southwest opened its first international terminal at Houston Hobby, and began service from Houston Hobby to Mexico and Central and South America on October 15, 2015. The William P. Hobby Airport covers 1,304 acres (528 ha) and has four runways; however, as of February 1, 2020, one of the four runways, runway 17-35, is permanently closed. Its original art deco terminal building, the first passenger airline terminal in Houston, now houses the 1940 Air Terminal Museum. Hobby Airport opened in 1927 as a private landing field in a 600-acre (240 ha) pasture known as W.T. Carter Field. In the 1930s, it was served by Braniff International Airways and Eastern Air Lines. The site was acquired by the city of Houston and was named Houston Municipal Airport in 1937. The airport was renamed Howard R. Hughes Airport in 1938. Howard Hughes was responsible for several improvements to the airport, including its first control tower, built in 1938. The airport's name changed back to Houston Municipal because Hughes was still alive at the time and regulations did not allow federal improvement funds for an airport named after a living person. The city of Houston opened a new air terminal and hangar in 1940.

Extremely large airport. Several restaurants and Several eating areas. There are restaurants in here that some towns or cites don't have. Lol...Very nice airport...oh yeh...Was also liking the bathroom with the soap, water and air all in the same area...
