Houston

Welcome to Houston!

Hey ya�ll, settle in to the lone-star hub of Virtual United. George Bush Intercontinental is the 2nd largest United hub by departures and passengers carried just behind Chicago O�Hare. It also ranks as the 14th busiest airport in the United States. Due to the merger of United and Continental we adopted Houston as a new home for pilots to connect to many places on the globe. Fun fact! Houston holds the title of the first airport in North America to have nonstop flights to every inhabited continent, United touching most of them.

Here at vUAL we look forward to all skill levels and simulation platforms. With the ranking system we allow a variety of aircraft to be flown with a wide variety of routes to choose from. Here in Houston we are capable of top down route coverage considering the many United Express flights available, our International Terminal D to connect the world, and domestic United flights to all points across the U.S.

I advise everyone to go over the hub cheat sheet as you can find a lot of useful information and become familiar with your new home here in Houston. Please feel free to reach me at anytime either that be in our Teamspeak server, email, or in the forums. I look forward to speaking with every pilot here. To tailwinds and blue skies. See ya up there!

Your Houston Hub Manager,
