Getting between Bush Intercontinental and Houston Hobby?
I have a connecting flight from Continental Airlines to Southwest Airlines in Houston. The flights are two hours apart. I booked it that way to save about $400 on Continental's air fare. My question is how bad is traffic at 3:30 in the afternoon to get from these two airports. I see that they are about 30 miles apart on Google Maps..

Oh man, you're going to be pushing it with a two hour window! I currently live in Houston about five miles from IAH. At that time, you're going to catch a lot of traffic when you get past downtown headed south. I would highly recommend changing your Southwest flight to a later one. Another point to consider is that Hobby is under construction and the lines for security are always really long right now. Again, two hours is really tight.

Even if you're doing carry-on luggage only (and don't have to wait to claim your bags), considering that you're supposed to check in 1.5 to 2 hours before your flight, you're cutting it way too close. It can easily be an hour between the two airports.

2 hours is really pushing it. I recommend changing your flight to a later one. That is right around rush hour. Have a great trip!
