Direct flights from D.C. to Houston?

I will be travelling to Houston, TX from the D.C. area later this year. Which airlines fly direct from either National or Dulles to Intercontinental or Hobby? Which of the two Houston airports is better/easier to fly to? Do you recommend a particular airline over another?

USAir has a direct from National to I believe Intercontinental. Check their website. I prefer flying from National over Dulles--- much easier for me to get to, parking shuttles run more often, security lines and checkin lines are much more efficient. I don't see much of a difference between the Houston airports although Hobby is a wee bit more efficient.
Yes, I would fly from National too. Much more "user friendly". I am a flight attendant and the smaller airports are much more convenient. Of course, if you want to get a better deal on a ticket, you may have to fly out of another airport.

Continental has a large hub at Houston Intercontinental Airport so they have nonstop flights from National or Dulles, as well as from BWI. Continental is a good airline. United has nonstop flights from Dulles to Houston Intercontinental. But United is a terrible airline. And if you're willing to go out of BWI, then Southwest Airlines flies from BWI to Houston Hobby. But Southwest Airlines isn't so great and often not the cheapest airline either. USAirways used to have a nonstop from National to Houston Intercontinental but they no longer do. I'm not sure which airport in Houston is closer to where you're going but Houston Intercontinental is pretty big, although I've been there and it's a very good airport. Hobby is smaller from what I understand but I've never been there. Also, there might be more airlines that have direct flights but none that have nonstop flights. Direct flights are different than nonstop - direct means that you have to stop in an airport but you don't change planes.
