Flight from San Diego to Houston George Bush Airport

PrincessFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026

Avoid Houston if you have a connection and inclement weather is predicted

ThuFlew with Southwest-Oct 2024

Oakland is a great airport to fly in and out of. Long term park is very reasonable.

LindsayFlew with Southwest-Mar 2024

Make sure you’re connecting flight isnt within an hour because SW is always running late and youll miss it and no one will tell you
