Houston, Texas
The largest city in the state of Texas, Houston, owes much of its growth to the boom of the oil industry. The city now has a population of over 2 million people, along with a strong presence in the sports, energy, health care, and aeronautics industries. The two primary commercial airports in Houston are George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P. Hobby Airport.
Bus service is offered to both airports through the Houston Metropolitan Transit Authority, and taxi service is available throughout the Houston area. Taxi fare from downtown to William P. Hobby Airport is about $26, and fare to George Bush Intercontinental Airport is around $53 from the downtown area. If you choose to drive your own vehicle and use the airport parking areas, the daily rate for terminal parking at both airports is $17 per day. It takes 30 minutes to drive north to George Bush Intercontinental Airport from downtown along Highway 548, or 20 minutes to drive southeast along Interstate 45 to William P. Hobby Airport.
Nonstop flight service is offered from George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Orlando aboard United Airlines, and both Houston airports have service to Orlando with one or more stops. Both airports have restaurants where departing passengers can relax and have something to eat before boarding begins. Some dining options the two airports have in common are Subway, Starbucks, Wendy's, and Peet's Coffee & Tea.
Orlando, Florida
Orlando is best-known as the location of theme park attractions, including Walt Disney World. This theme park area occupies more than 40 square miles and hosts millions of visitors every year. Orlando's theme parks make this city an attractive family vacation spot.
Experience Orlando
Two airports serve the Orlando area for arriving passengers: Orlando Sanford International Airport and Orlando International Airport. Curbside taxi service is available at both airports to take you to your final destination, and free shuttle transportation is available if you are staying in one of the Disney resort hotels. It takes about 25 minutes to reach the city center from Orlando International Airport or about 35 minutes from Orlando Sanford International Airport. Alternatively, you can reserve a rental car on Orbitz.com when you book your flight to Orlando.
The average high temperature in Orlando is over 90 degrees Fahrenheit during June through August. Florida can experience hurricanes from June through November, and summers in Orlando are hot and humid. From October through April, hurricanes are less likely and temperatures are cooler, making this the perfect time for a visit.
