Friends! Welcome to the travel page! Traveling to College Station (especially on a game day weekend) can definitely be a feat not for the faint of heart. Know that we see your sacrifice and are moved greatly by the lengths we know each of you will cross to make it on this day!
Great question! You have 4 general options. Listed in order of closeness to St. Mary's:
College Station Airport (CLL) 10 mins away
Houston Bush (IAH) 1 hr and 24 mins away
Houston Hobby (HOU) 1 hr and 45 mins away
Austin (AUS) 1 hr and 45 mins away
*These times were all mapped without traffic
Once you fly into the great state of Texas, if you flew into CLL, we would recommend an Uber to whatever location you need.
If you flew into a surrounding city, we would recommend getting a rental car-- communicating with other friends and family coming and collab with them to save money and gas (go earth!).
There is also a shuttle that runs from the Houston airports to College Station at pretty much every hour of the day for a reasonable prices, so I have been told. It is called groundshuttle.com if you want to look into that!
Great question, coach! So, because it is game day, we would recommend that you book your accommodations sooner rather than later as things will only become more sparse and more expensive.
With that said, we do have some hotel blocks that you can find here. If these are not up your alley, our recommendation to you would be to go in on an Airbnb with some people or look to close surrounding cities such as Navasota or even Houston or Austin (depending on what airport you are coming from) as the drive wouldn't be too long and accommodations would be significantly cheaper.
