How many airports are in Houston?

There are four airports in the Houston area:

• George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)
• William P. Hobby Airport (HOU)
• Ellington Airport (EFD)
• Sugar Land Regional Airport (SGR)

You’ll most likely arrive at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, which is located on the north side of town, about 21 miles from downtown. When you get off the plane and your fur babies need to heed nature’s call, take them to the grassy pet relief areas available in Terminals A, B, and D before you start tackling a Texas-size itinerary.

Touching down at William P. Hobby Airport is extra convenient if you’re staying downtown at say, Four Seasons Hotel – Houston or one of our other central pet-friendly hotels in Houston. Located about 10 miles southeast of the heart of Houston, this is also a great place to land when you plan to visit the Space Center. No trips to the moon before taking care of business at the animal relief areas east of baggage claim and north of the passenger pickup area.

Curious about getting around in Houston with a pet?

Houston is a driver’s city and most of the locals consider their cars a part of the family. Consider renting a vacation vehicle so all your travel pals can commute comfortably—we’ve got some scenic route-ready options at Travelocity. Roll down the windows and let the warm Gulf Coast air mingle with the scent of Southern cuisine as you cruise through town. If you prefer public transportation, check out the bus and light rail routes with the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County. As long as your pets are in their travel carriers, they’re welcome to ride along.

Are there any dog parks near downtown Houston?

There are several pet parks in Houston where Fido and Ms. Whiskers are welcome to frolic—some on a leash and some off-leash. To stay close to the city center, follow Buffalo Bayou east of downtown and you’ll flow right into Memorial Park, home of the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center. Walk in awe of the cypress trees and colorful butterflies.

If home is where the heart is, then you’ll feel comfy cozy in Travelocity’s dog-friendly hotels in Houston, like Red Roof Inn Houston – Brookhollow. With over 271,000 hotels worldwide and several pet-friendly options, you can trot the globe with your pets at your side.
