At just 1 hour and 5 minutes over 148 miles, flying from Houston to Austin is a quick hop across South-Central Texas. United Airlines and Southwest operate multiple daily flights into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS).
Austin is celebrated for its live music scene, sunny outdoor life, and legendary Texas barbecue. Paddleboard on Lady Bird Lake, cool off in the natural spring-fed waters of Barton Springs Pool, or browse quirky vintage shops along South Congress Avenue. By night, grab tender brisket at Terry Black's or Franklin Barbecue, then catch live indie rock and country music on Rainey Street or at the historic Continental Club.
Economy roundtrips under $100 are a great bargain, while standard fares sit around $140 to $220. Spring and fall festival seasons (SXSW and ACL) bring flight spikes, so booking 3 to 4 weeks ahead is ideal for locking in the best rates.
