About this route
Phoenix to Houston flights
Phoenix to Houston connects two Sun Belt powerhouses across the desert Southwest and the Gulf Coast. United operates the heaviest schedule from its IAH hub, with American and Southwest adding competition.
Arizona's refusal to observe daylight saving time means the time difference fluctuates — 2 hours in summer, 1 hour in winter. Houston's George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) is a sprawling campus with long walks between terminals, so expect 15-20 minutes from touchdown to the curb.
