Pro Tips

  • ABQ is one of the best airports for Southwestern art and decor — the Pueblo-inspired terminal is genuinely beautiful.
  • Santa Fe is about 60 miles north of ABQ — rent a car or take a Sandia Shuttle for the most convenient transfer.
  • Albuquerque's elevation (5,300 ft) means aircraft performance differs slightly — factor this in for timing.
  • The International Balloon Fiesta (first week of October) fills every hotel and flight in the state — book months in advance.
  • New Mexico is a major chili pepper growing region; the airport's dining reflects local cuisine with green and red chile options.
  • Parking at ABQ is affordable and the terminal is compact — security is generally fast.
  • Breaking Bad fans: Albuquerque locations are a major tourism draw; the airport has some themed merchandise.
