Hurrican Harvey

Hurricane Harvey on Friday.

Over the weekend, Hurricane Harvey made landfall along Gulf coast in Texas. In addition to its 130 mph winds, the slow-moving storm has also left behind more than four-feet of rainfall in some parts of the state.

This has resulted in catastrophic flooding along coastal cities including Houston.

Naturally, this isn't the best time to fly to Texas, especially in the southern part of the state. However, if you must expect, significant delays and airport closures.

Here is the latest status update we have on the state's major airports, according to the Federal Aviation Administration,

  • Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport is currently closed but is expected to reopen Monday at noon local time.
  • Houston Hobby Airport and Corpus Christi International Airport are both closed but won't reopen until Wednesday morning.
  • Dallas/Ft. Worth International, Dallas Love Field, Austin-Bergstrom, and San Antonio International all up and running.

If you have tickets booked for travel to Texas, most airlines have instituted a waiver program that will allow you to change your reservation either for free or a reduced fee.
