Facilities for disabled people
The only mentions of ADA or other accessibility facilities for disabled people or services for travellers with special needs in William P. Hobby Airport are the depressingly (if not insultingly) short “ADA amenities” bullet point included in their passenger amenities sub-sub-section (just those two words!), and the mention of assistance animal and pet relief areas.
(Their Interfaith Chapel merits an entire top-level entry in the navigation menu. What a strange sense of priorities they have.)
So please make sure you contact your airline or travel agency in advance to arrange for wheelchair services or any other special assistance you might require before you visit William P. Hobby Airport, to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
