Quick answer

Houston is the closest major U.S. city to Longevity Clinic: United flies nonstop from Houston (IAH) to Veracruz in about 2 hours 15 minutes. You send your records first, our physician designs your personalized protocol for free, and you travel only for a session of about 45 minutes. Follow-up is remote.

For patients in Houston, Veracruz is closer than many U.S. destinations: a nonstop United flight of about 2 hours 15 minutes from IAH, and Veracruz is on Central time in winter.

Flights and time

  • Nonstop: IAH → VER with United, about 2 h 15 min. Confirm the schedule with the airline.
  • Time difference: Mexico doesn't change clocks. Veracruz is on the same time as Houston in winter and one hour behind in summer.
  • From the Houston suburbs (Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Katy), plan your drive to IAH; Hobby (HOU) has no nonstop to Veracruz.

A weekend itinerary

  • Friday morning: fly IAH–VER, check in near the beach in Boca del Río.
  • Friday afternoon or Saturday: your session (about 45 minutes).
  • Sunday: fly home. Many Houston patients don't need to take time off work.

Who comes from Houston
