Chicago to Houston nonstop
Yes: Frontier flies direct from Chicago (MDW) to Houston (IAH), in the winter season only.
Hotel bookings pay us a small commission; the flight search doesn't.
- Distance and flight time
- 917 miles nonstop, about 2 hr 25 min gate to gate. Flight time is an estimate from the great-circle distance; the filings carry distance, not scheduled elapsed time.
- Seasonality
- Winter only: none in July 2026, and about 2 departures a week in February 2026.
- Who operates the flights
- Frontier is the only carrier filing this pair.
- Fares
- Half of the 386 tickets in the US DOT fare survey for Q2 2025 sold between $50 and $150 one way, median $75. The survey runs a couple of quarters behind, so read it as the shape of the route's pricing rather than today's quote.
