You, Baltimore, and Houston: A Tale of Two Cities (and How Long It Takes to Fly Between Them)
So, you're itching to escape the land of crab cakes (don't worry, they'll be waiting for you when you get back) and set your sights on the great state of Texas. Houston, with its space cowboy spirit and barbecue that'll make your taste buds do a two-step, is calling your name. But before you can be wrangling metaphorical steers and saying "howdy" to friendly strangers, there's one crucial question:
How long does that darn flight take?
Well, buckle up, buttercup, because the answer, like a good Texas two-step, depends on a few fancy footwork moves.
The Speedy Gonzales: The Non-Stop Dash
For those of you who are short on time and long on wanderlust, fret not! There are several non-stop flights that can whisk you from Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI, catchy, right?) to Houston in a breezy 3.5 hours. That's faster than you can say "Houston, we have a craving for kolaches!"
The Detour Derby: Making New Friends (and Layovers)
But hey, maybe you're the adventurous type. Maybe you see a layover as an opportunity to snag a cheap margarita at the airport bar and pick up a souvenir spork you absolutely don't need. If that's the case, then there are flights with layovers that can take anywhere from 5 to 10 hours. Just be warned, some layovers can feel like they last longer than a Texas summer.
The All-Nighter: Because Why Sleep When You Can Fly?
There's also a special breed of traveler who thrives on the thrill of the red-eye. For those who enjoy questionable airplane meals and questionable life choices, there are even red-eye flights that take upwards of 15 hours. Just remember, by the time you land in Houston, you might be convinced you've flown into the future.
The Ultimate Answer (Kind Of):
So, how long is that flight from BWI to Houston? It depends! But fear not, with a little research (and maybe a strong cup of coffee for those red-eye enthusiasts), you can find the perfect flight to fit your time constraints and budget.
Pro Tip: Pack some snacks for those longer flights. Unless you're a huge fan of airplane pretzels, your taste buds will thank you.
Now get out there, book your flight, and get ready to experience the magic of Texas (and hopefully avoid any tumbleweeds)!
