About Houston: Extending to Galveston Bay. Houston is closely linked with the Space Center Houston, the coastal visitor center at NASA’s astronaut training and flight control complex. The city’s relatively compact Downtown includes the Theater District, home to the renowned Houston Grand Opera, and the Historic District, with 19th-century architecture and upscale restaurants. ― (Google)

The nearest airport to The Galleria is Houston Hobby Apt (HOU) Airport which is 12.8 miles away. Other nearby airports include Houston (IAH) (18.6 miles). 

IAH (Bush Intercontinental): Bigger, more international flights, hub for United Airlines but further from the Galleria. HOU (Hobby): Smaller, mostly Southwest Airlines, closer to the Galleria, quicker city access, often cheaper fares.

Choose IAH for connections and options, HOU for convenience and Southwest.
