The Central Terminal at William P. Hobby Airport is undergoing major construction. The first phase began in October 2008 and is estimated to take 18 months to complete. As a result, all of the security lanes are being filtered through one entry point into the concourse. In addition, there is only one escalator directing Customers to the baggage claim level. If you are traveling from William P. Hobby Airport we suggest arriving 1:15 prior to the take-off of your scheduled flight. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
