Flights to Pasadena
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Pasadena is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,602 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH, 35 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| William P. Hobby Airport | HOU | 8 km (5 mi) | 7,602 ft | 46 ft |
| George Bush Intercontinental Airport | IAH | 35 km (22 mi) | 12,001 ft | 97 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,602 ft, HOU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 46 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
