you'll probably like west houston better. weiser is a nice little
guranteed crosswind (9-27) narrow asphalt strip(taxi back in the grass)
that many people love but makes some people kinda nervous.

it does become a time-of-day issue tho. west houston is off I-10 which,
as was mentioned, is under permanent construction and the already
stagnant rush hour (read:daylight...or dark...ok anything other than
1-3am, most days) is made worse, whereas weiser is off 290 (northwest
freeway houston/austinish) which is usually a little better.

enjoy your stay.

IWS is my home airport. I agree with Dan, IWS is better than EYQ and
Houston traffic sucks! Couple of tips, use the HOV lane on I-10 if your
passengers have 3 or more in the care and get on the freeway before 4:00.
Its not good then but it is better than at 5:00.

For IWS, take the Barker-Cypress exit off I-10 and turn right on
Barker-Cypress road. Go about two miles to Groeske Rd. Turn right. Go about
1/2 mile, turn left into the airport. Big, nice two story terminal with an
observation deck, nice lounge and a used book store, no food though. Check
the Notams, the NDB has been OTS for months.

For EYQ, follow 290 towards Austin. take the Huffmeister exit off 290.
Stay on the frontage road past Huffmeister and turn right at the Airport
signs. The airport is right beside the freeway. Follow the road past the
third set of T-hangers and turn left. Windsock Aviation is at the end of
the T-hangers.

Good luck and welcome to Houston,
