Questions about Christmas and winter break flights from Houston
What's the cheapest place to fly from Houston for Christmas?
Of the fares travelers found recently, the cheapest round trips with a carry-on are Atlanta ($267, Wed, Dec 23 to Mon, Dec 28), Minneapolis ($275, Wed, Dec 23 to Sun, Dec 27) and Austin ($298, Thu, Dec 24 to Sun, Dec 27).
What day should I fly for Christmas?
Of the cheapest trips found from Houston, more leave on Wednesday, December 16 than any other day. Flexible? Check live prices a day or two either side: around the holidays, one day can change the price a lot.
Do these prices include bags?
They include a carry-on both ways, using our estimate of each airline's fee. A checked bag usually costs extra (bringing gifts? add that to the price), even on long flights abroad on the cheapest fares, though some airlines like Emirates include one.
How these prices work
These are real round-trip fares that travelers found on Aviasales recently, not a live search, so they can change or sell out. Dipt adds an estimate of each airline's carry-on fee, so a cheap fare with expensive bags doesn't look cheaper than it is. "Live price" opens Dipt's live flight search for those dates, where you book with the airline or travel site you pick. Dipt may earn a commission when you book, at no extra cost to you (how Dipt makes money).
