How much is a flight from New Orleans to Houston?

"How much is the New Orleans to Houston flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for your date in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest New Orleans to Houston flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from New Orleans to Houston: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from New Orleans to Houston is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

  • Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
  • Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
  • Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
  • Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
  • Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
  • Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from New Orleans to Houston?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Airlines flying from New Orleans to Houston

Who flies from New Orleans to Houston? United and Southwest Airlines. Between them the route runs 10+ a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for the date you travel and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.

  • United - New Orleans to Houston
  • Southwest Airlines - New Orleans to Houston

Departure: Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY)

Your journey starts at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. There is a shuttle bus from the airport to downtown, but a private car is the simplest way to reach the French Quarter with luggage, and a car or tour is needed for plantations, swamps and Baton Rouge.

  • Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
  • Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
  • Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
  • Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in New Orleans to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport

Arrival: Houston Bush Intercontinental or Hobby (IAH / HOU) and getting into Houston

You arrive at Houston Bush Intercontinental or Hobby (IAH / HOU). Public transport and taxis leave from the arrivals level. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Houston, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Many travellers continue from Houston to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board, the New Orleans to Houston flight is about 1 hour 15 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

  • Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
  • Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
  • Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones

Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Houston when you land

Houston is the largest city in Texas, with the NASA Space Center, a major energy industry and one of the main United Airlines hubs. The reasons passengers fly from New Orleans to Houston include the Space Center Houston, the Museum District, Hermann Park and the Galleria.

We offer tours and transfers in Houston as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

We book the return leg from Houston to New Orleans just as easily, typically on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
