Ground transportation between IAH and HOU

[MILPILOT17]

Can anyone tell me if there is any inexpensive and reliable ground transportion between IAH and HOU? Something that runs on a scheduled basis or can be scheduled when needed? Thanks!

Supershuttle.

Do you need to get to DAL? If you do there are a couple of CoEx flights from IAH-DAL.

Skip the traffic, take the Houston Proud Express, whisper quiet DC-9-14 service and you'll be there in a jiffy.

I'm new to this game so you'll have to bare with me; how do I get the schedule? Can I jumpseat on them as long as I'm in CASS? Any more info would be great! Thanks.

Good luck waiting for that flight since the only us passenger DC-9 operater left is Northwest and they Don't fly that route...... Looks like that is at least a 25 year old picture.

Sorry, vain attempt at humour. I believe that service was pulled down about 20 years ago. Continental hasn't flown DC-9s for what, 12 or 13 years?

I'll be slightly helpful, I guess: http://www.merloscharters.com/content/view/50/48/

A year ago I took a bus between the two and it ran me about 20 bucks. Took while but It worked.

Continental didnt't run this route, it was subbed to Emerald Airlines, based in AUS..They operated a fleet of DC-9-10's and -20's, along with a few FH227's. They went tango uniform in 1986 or 87.

Interesting, I couldn't find much history on the route. Imagine the outcry if someone flew a 70 seat DC-9 in mainline colors today, why there'd be....erm...nevermind.

There is a van service, I am sorry but I can't recall the name, that goes from IAH to Hobby. I took it once a couple of years ago, it stops at 2 or 3 hotels along the way, but it's not too bad. If I recall, they gave a pretty big airline employee discount. I know they are still in business because I walk by their counter every time I go to work, but I can't recall the name exactly. I'll bet if you call one of the Hobby rent a car companies or the airport managers office they will point you in the right direction. Dad

There is a van service I believe it's called the texas shuttle. You pick it up near baggage claim. I believe it runs every 30min. You do get a airline discount.

In my CoEx days, we used to run a Be1900 between IAH-HOU... nothing like doing 9 legs for 3 1/2 hours of pay and never leaving the city....

Never used it when based there, but here's the link to the super shuttle.

Good luck.

There's a shuttle downstairs that runs. Watch out if it's the tall black guy driving - he thinks he's Mario Andretti. You could also try the rental car companies, sometimes they have specials to shuttle cars between airports.
