Houston to Pullman: A Journey of Epic Proportions (Or Not)
So, you're planning a trip from the heart of Texas, the concrete jungle known as Houston, to the quaint, college-town charm of Pullman, Washington? Let's talk about this. Because, let's face it, this isn't exactly a hop, skip, and a jump.
How Long is This Torture?
The short answer? It depends. On a lot of things. Like, are you taking a rocket ship? If you're stuck with boring old commercial airlines, expect to spend somewhere between 5 to 6 hours in the air. That's assuming everything goes according to plan and the pilot doesn't decide to take a scenic detour to visit his grandma in Idaho.
Layover Legends
Now, here's where things can get interesting (or infuriating, depending on your perspective). There's a good chance you'll have a layover. Maybe in Seattle, maybe in Denver, or perhaps in a city you've never heard of. This can add anywhere from an extra hour to an entire day to your journey. So, pack a good book, download your favorite binge-worthy show, or learn to meditate.
The Joys of Air Travel (Said No One Ever)
Let's be honest, flying can be a real drag. Between the cramped seats, the questionable food, and the constant battle for armrest supremacy, it's enough to make you want to drive. But hey, at least you'll get to see some clouds. And maybe a mountain or two. If you're lucky.
How to...
- How to survive a long flight? Bring noise-canceling headphones, download your favorite movies or podcasts, and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

- How to pack light? Roll your clothes, use packing cubes, and only bring essentials. Remember, you can always buy stuff when you get there.
- How to entertain yourself on a plane? Download books, games, and movies before your flight. Bring a good book, a notebook, or a puzzle. And don't forget your headphones!
- How to make the most of a layover? If you have a long layover, explore the airport or find a quiet place to relax. Or, if you have enough time, consider taking a short trip into the city.
So, there you have it. A comprehensive guide to surviving a flight from Houston to Pullman. Happy travels!
