The ATT center is on the East side of town so you'll be fine.

Slomo, why not just buy a one-way SW ticket to SA from Houston and rent the car after you get there?
I'm not sure, but according to my travel agent it has something to do with a different airport in Houston which means I don't gain much (if anything).
But I'll look into it right now, maybe she was wrong.
SW goes into both Hobby and Bush now, if I am not mistaken. You wouldn't necessarily have to switch airports. But even if you did, with flight time and travel between both, you are still cutting your trip time by more than half. Since you are only gonna catch two games, it would probably be worth the extra investment so that you don't miss anything.
And Continental is sold out until 5pm.
Southwest Slomo..
look them up bro.
There is a SW flight out of Bush that leaves at 2:30 and you would get in an hour before the game starts. Book it, dan-o.
edit: In my experience, SW flights from Houston are almost always early. It says 50 minutes travel time, but its usually more like 35-40. They are really good at being on time/early.
Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm evaluating this by looking at a map - I don't know Houston that well). But if I land at 12:14 I can be out of the terminal at 12:45 (luggage pick up) at best. Taxi ride to Hobby (Ichecked they only offer flight from there on their website) what 30 minutes?. Checkin and security control I'm ready at roughly 2 pm. THe first flight that is available is at 2:35 and lands at 3:25, which nput me out of the terminal at 3:50 and in my rental car at 4:15 which leaves me 15 minutes for the drive to the AT&T centre.
And you'll probably agree some of my estimations are very optimistic (and only if the all the planes are on time).
It's not the investment I'm worried it's more about complicating further something that is already not ideal.
If there was a continental flight available from IAH it would actually work, but like that I'm not sure.
Edit: or any other flight out of IAH for tha matter...
Damn, I thought that flight was out of Bush. You are right, it could complicate things further if you hit traffic trying to get to Hobby.
As I said I don't know Houston that well, but I do know that traffic in that city can be horrible.
But hey I have another 30 minutes at my disposal before I go out for dinner, if you have any other good suggestions I'm game. After that it's going to be too late for me to change anything.
SW actually flies direct from Las Vegas to SA, but I checked and all the a.m. flights are booked up.
I just went through Travelocity and couldn't find anything out of IAH that left after 1 p.m. that would get you to SA before 4:44.
I'm still looking, Slomo. I spent a lot of time looking at flights yesterday, might as well look for you, too.
I know
I went through it myself. One of the problems is that I can't really leave before 2 am tonight. Under the cir stances and the late change of plan that's the best I came up with...

Don't worry, I went through it all. The only thing that I can still change is a better way to get from IAH to the AT&T centre. So don't loose too much time over this, I'll just pretend I'm one of those blaze fans that doesn't even bother to show up until half time
Yeah, I am running out of ideas. I wish I was still in travel, I could manipulate that computer to give me damn near anything I wanted. Oh well. May the wind be with you as you blaze it to at&t.
I GOT IT!!!
SW has a $284 flight from Vegas to Austin, nonstop, leaves at 8:30 arrives at 1:05. Austin to SA is a much easier drive (60-90 min). Can you get a refund on your current ticket?
Damn, Shoogar is the man! Austin is waaaay easier.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be in the thread.
I PM'd him.
I could even provide a drink to toss to Slomo through his window while he drives through San Marcos.
This would have been a lot better. Unfortunately I left for dinner before seeing thisUnfortunately, he doesn't seem to be in the thread.
I PM'd him.
Thanks a lot for all your help and effort!
That was a loooong dinner, Slomo
I bet you can still change that ticket, though. SW only charges the difference in fare, not a change fee. But whatever you do, be loud as when you get there, and have FUN!
I have confidence Slomo will make it to the AT&T Center on time even if he's driving. Last time he made it to our house within 4 hours during rush hour time.
