Flights from New York to Houston: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from New York to Houston 
CharlesFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2026
Know the Spirit Airlines rules on baggage before getting to the airport. Avoid paying a fee.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Sept 2024
Consider one of the non-economy airlines (eg Delta, American) for a more comfortable flight and travel experience.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2024
Spirit Airlines is a good and safe, no frills airline. It offers transport for a very cheap fare rate. This is perfect for travelers who can fit all their stuff in a personal sized bag of 18x14x8. Only 1 bag is allowed. If intending to bring a luggage, keep in mind that a prepaid checked in baggage of 40 pounds ($55-60 each way) is cheaper than a prepaid carry on, and it is cheapest when bought together with the fare ticket. Keep also in mind that seats do not recline, so if that is something you need to have especially on longer flights, Spirit airlines isn't for you. So if you just need a no frill, no baggage airfare that transports you from one point to another, Spirit is a reliable, safe and affordable airline to get.
