Houston Airport System to host first-ever Flavor Fest at IAH, HOU

The Houston Airport System's first Flavor Fest will allow non-travelers to sample airport cuisine for a cause, per an Oct. 16 announcement.

What to expect

The festival will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 10 at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 17 at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Tickets cost $30 per person, and no flight or boarding pass is required for attendees as both events will take place in pre-security areas.
