Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport
Survey score: 769
Houston George Bush Intercontinental is actually quite far from main Houston, situated a lengthy 20 miles away from the downtown area. Reportedly many people struggle to navigate their way through the airport due to its enormous size. Even though the airport has various elevator devices and a subway system to help people move between terminals; people have still been complaining of the unrealistic amount of walking needed to navigate to connecting flights. Lacking clear visual direction to assist flight connecting passengers, many also have complained of the lack of charging stations. An average airport that “doesn’t feel old nor does it feel new”, the airport is very much a “middle-of-the-road type of airport” according to a review on Yelp.
William P. Hobby Airport (Houston)
Survey score: 768
William P. Hobby Airport, despite it’s small stature and being overshadowed by larger airports in Houston, has actually caught more media attention over the past year than its counterparts. Hobby has been the place of a bomb scare (which turned out to be a toy grenade) and that of a spontaneous viral dance performance. Despite all the excitement, Hobby airport is actually well-known for having cancelled many flights due to mechanical issues, lack of hygiene, malfunctioning airport equipment, poor customer service and water-supply issues. According to a particular unhappy traveler, Hobby makes “LAX look like Disneyland” in comparison. Oh dear.
