I’d go for a
road trip
over a plane ride any day!
Atlanta
is 793 miles or about 12 hours from
Houston
when you take the most direct route with the following steps:
  • Take I-10 East for 195 miles
  • Transfer to I-12 East to avoid
    New Orleans
    and continue for 85 miles
  • Transfer back to I-10 East and continue for 103 miles
  • Transfer to I-65 North and continue for 171 miles
  • Transfer to I-85 North and continue for 160 miles til you reach Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta is one hour ahead of Houston, which you can factor into your arrival by adding one hour to your travel time. For example, if you leave Houston at 10 A.M. CST you should arrive in Atlanta around 11 P.M. EST.
A lot can happen in 12 hours on the road, so make sure you’re prepared with roadside assistance and a good
