Here you will find all operators and timetables for a Bus from New York to Houston

What are the most popular stations in New York and Houston?

In New York, you will usually depart from 31st & 8th Ave, Port Authority Bus Terminal or East Broadway, while in Houston you will be arriving at Hillcroft METRO Park and Ride Bus Station, Lockwood or Main St & Airline Dr, but there are many more stops to explore in both locations.

How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Houston from New York? With 6 connections between 2 Flight and Bus operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between New York and Houston, you can pay as low as $66 with a Flight from Spirit Airlines.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from Spirit Airlines: you will get to Houston in just 4h 16m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities. The main operators connecting New York and Houston are Frontier Airlines, Spirit Airlines and FlixBus, but be sure to check what they have to offer!

Save money with deals, and always compare

One last tip? Even if you live in New York and Houston is your only destination, it may be wise to check the offers from and to nearby cities or, if you are flyng, nearby airports. Check the trips from Jersey City or to West University Place, TX, and look at flights from John F. Kennedy Airport, and landing at William P. Hobby Airport. Comparing different routes may allow you to find deals or promotions you were not aware of. Consider also signing up to CheckMyBus to see even more exclusive promotions!
