Houston–Las Vegas Flights

Roughly 1,220 miles separate Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), so a nonstop spends about 2h55 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: United Airlines. The Boeing 737-900ER shows up on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up all of the award options in the data, which makes a direct award a realistic target.

Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles

For Houston–Las Vegas, the cash fare is the benchmark an award has to beat. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on a United Airlines nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $10, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. If the cash price is modest, buying the ticket is often the better trade. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.

Booking tips

  1. 1Search flexible dates first, since saver award seats can appear on scattered days.
  2. 2Compare partner programs before transferring points, since the same seat can price very differently.
  3. 3Check both direct and connecting options when direct award seats are limited.
  4. 4Book early for peak travel periods, when saver space disappears fastest.
  5. 5Recheck availability often, since airlines may release more award seats closer to departure.
