What's the easiest way from the Houston Airport to the Amtrak Station?
You didn't mention if this referred to IAH-HOS or HOU-HOS, but in either case the easiest method would be Taxi/Uber/Lyft.What's the easiest way from the Houston Airport to the Amtrak Station?
HOU, thanxWhat DA is saying is that Houston has 2 airports - Intercontinental (IAH) and Hobby (HOU). To which are you flying into?
Which airport, Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) or Dallas Love (DAL)?What about Dallas Airport to Amtrak?

DFW is actually served by DART Orange line on site.DFW is half way in between Dallas and Fort Worth. I believe it is served by TRE, which goes right to both stations!
DFW is also served by DART trains, Orange Line I think.DFW is half way in between Dallas and Fort Worth. I believe it is served by TRE, which goes right to both stations!
If you are arriving at George Bush International, there is the number 102 bus which leaves from Terminal C and goes to downtown. The fare I think is only $1.25. It doesn't serve Amtrak directly but passes in the general vicinity and if you look at maps of the downtown area you can work out how to walk there.What's the easiest way from the Houston Airport to the Amtrak Station?
Is he? This whole thread is starting to sound more like a casual windup than a serious request for actionable information. Might as well ask "What's the easiest way from Texas to Amtrak?"He’s coming from Houston Hobby.
The full name is George Bush Intercontinental Airport these days. The intercontinental part doesn't bother me much, mainly because (1) it's true and (2) it's a far more relevant differentiator than the usual INTL badge. Besides, most of the time when an average American says "international" in the context of flying what they really mean is "intercontinental." They're just not curious or detail oriented enough to consider that most international flying involves short trips on regional aircraft rather than long trips on widebody aircraft traveling across oceans.The official name of IAH is Houston Intercontinental, since everything in Texas is bigger
Build big, think small. That's our motto.I wonder if IAH was named that because it was the hub for Continental Airlines, or does Texas just like to think big? :huh: :giggle:
At the time construction began at IAH, HOU was known as Houston International Airport (and had been since the present terminal...OK, well, everything has changed except the terra-cotta yellow rose on the main floor...was constructed in 1954) as service was operated to Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. The "Intercontinental" moniker was intended to distinguish between the two airports (as well as sounding a bit more impressive...Texas braggadocio at work!). HOU was renamed after former Texas governor William P. Hobby in 1967.I wonder if IAH was named that because it was the hub for Continental Airlines, or does Texas just like to think big? :huh: :giggle:
Yes. He literally said HOU when asked which airport.Is he? This whole thread is starting to sound more like a casual windup than a serious request for actionable information. Might as well ask "What's the easiest way from Texas to Amtrak?"He’s coming from Houston Hobby.
Then he changed his origin to "Dallas Airport" repeating the exact same mistake, as if he just couldn't quite comprehend that large cities generally have more than one commercial airport. If someone is this flaky and indifferent about the details of their own trip they probably have no tickets or actionable plans to work with. Which means he could be coming from anywhere to anywhere or simply going nowhere at all.Yes. He literally said HOU when asked which airport.Is he?

Correct.I assume that is George H.W. Bush and not his son after whom the airport is named.
