What's the closest airport to the port of Galveston?
So, I was thinking of taking the Carnival Elation cruise to Mexico. However, When I search for flights (San Francisco > Galveston) I get nothing. all it tells me is to refine my search for no flights were found

According to Carnival's web site there are two potential airports for Galveston, Tx: "42 miles from Houston Hobby International Airport; travel time is approximately 60 minutes. 70 miles from Houston Intercontinental Airport; travel time is approximately 90 minutes"

You will want to get to your departure port the day before, so you'll want to look into a hotel in Galveston. Some people rent a car to get from Houston to Galveston - may be cheaper than a van or cruise line transfers. Go to CruiseCritic.com, click on "Boards", then go to "Gulf Coast Departures" to find advice from people who have been there/done that.

Houston Hobby (HOU) is closest, and it's served by Southwest (if you like to fly with them, as I do).
