FAQs - booking New Mexico flights

  • What’s the closest airport to see the northern part of New Mexico?

    Booking a flight to Farmington via the Four Corner Regional Airport (FMN) is the quickest way to see cities in the north near bordering Colorado. You could also fly to Sante Fe Regional Airport, and then rent a car to reach northern cities more quickly. Landing at Albuquerque International Sunport is another great option, though drives can be a bit longer than landing at Sante Fe. Also consider booking a flight to Durango, CO, and landing at Durango–La Plata County Airport (DRO).

  • What’s the closest airport to see the southwestern part of New Mexico near Mexico?

    There are no major airports in the southern portion of the state, so consider landing at Albuquerque International Sunport. From here you can either drive the distance in a rental car to reach the Mexican border (3h 4m) or book a flight to Roswell and land at Roswell International Air Center (3h 8m). Booking a flight to the nearby state of Arizona at Tucson International Airport (TUS) will also put you close to the southwest part of New Mexico.

  • I want to visit Roswell and learn about Area 51. Where’s the closest airport?

    A nonstop flight to Roswell International Air Center is the quickest and most direct way to reach the city of Roswell. However, to help save money, consider booking a flight to Albuquerque first, then flying straight to Roswell. You can reach the International UFO Museum and Research Center quickly in a rental car.

  • I want to visit some of New Mexico’s state parks. Where should I fly?

    Flying to Albuquerque is one of the cheapest options when it comes to visiting New Mexico’s parks. You can reach plenty of them in a short rental car drive. Booking a flight to Tucson, AZ, is another smart way to visit parks. You’ll find flights here are less frequent but cheaper. You can then book a flight to New Mexico or drive to the nearby parks.

  • How long is the flight to New Mexico?

    An average nonstop flight from the United States to New Mexico takes 4h 02m, covering a distance of 1141 miles. The most popular route is Los Angeles - Albuquerque with an average flight time of 1h 53m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to New Mexico?

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to New Mexico

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest New Mexico flight deals.
  • Booking a flight to New Mexico will give you several airports to choose from. Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is the most popular airport in the state, meaning flights are more expensive, more frequent, and the airport will be busy. Consider giving yourself more time if you plan on booking a flight here.
  • Consider booking a flight to Albuquerque if you want to visit multiple cities and towns around New Mexico. You can use it as a central hub for driving around or booking domestic flights to cities that are a bit too far to drive to. The airport is a great gateway to Hobbs and the Lea County Regional Airport (HOB), as well as Roswell International Air Center (ROW).
  • Consider booking a flight to New Mexico’s Sante Fe Regional Airport (SAF) for the quickest and most direct way to reach the capital city of Sante Fe. A drive in a rental car to the capital is about 14 miles from the airport.
  • Consider booking a flight to Roswell International Air Center, Lea County Regional Airport, or Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (AMA) in Texas, if you’d like to visit the eastern part of New Mexico. Flights to Texas are less expensive and more frequent than flying directly to Roswell.
  • Flights coming in from the Midwest region of the United States, like the Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), will generally be cheaper than flying from a West Coast city like Los Angeles (LAX) or an East Coast city like New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). But, Midwest flights are less frequent. Flights from West Coast cities are usually the most frequent.

Great. Loved that there was WiFi on flight to keep in touch and excellent service of beverages and snacks.

Business class is great. New airplane, very comfortable, better than some of the major airlines I am used to

Terrible. Flight was cancelled due to the weather in the east and sout east(florida). Did not get any compesation of any kind. According to them, it was not under their control so I lost all the money paid for the 2 fairs from Raleigh, NC to Orlando, Fl.

great flight. Pilot was communicative, flight attendants were excellent. Really nice experience except my tv didn’t work.

Overall, the flight was better than the flight I took to go to Florida, which had a bunch of problems. The crew is really nice and the plane was new so it had a small problem when we were on the runway, but the flight itself was great. They even made some time back up, which is always a good thing.

There were multiple delays but JetBlue tried to make the boarding and departure process as quick and efficient as possible. The crew was as detached from reality as could be, meaning: not very friendly and just doing things by the numbers.

I had back trouble prior to my flight and everyone was great about helping me.

40 minute delay before take off after boarding flight. Bright lights throughout night flight due Issues with light panels. In flight Entertainment nonfunctional

Everything was good except for deplaning in NY. Took way too long!!

Jet Blue keeps getting iit wrong. 4 hour mechanical delay followed by terrible boarding experience. This is my third horrific jet blue flight in 2024. I am going to try to avoid this loser in the sky

I paid $380 for my one-way ticket from California to Minnesota. The fair did not include online check-in. I received instructions from their app to check in at a kiosk. At the kiosk, the boarding pass would not print until an actual person came to verify that I had a personal item and not a carry-on item, On the plane, the person next to me was drunk and allowed to continue to order alcohol. United is garbage I’d rather fly spirit.

The plane was dirty and the in seat air wasn't blowing as planes usually do.

Generally good but there wasn’t any staff available when my luggage didn’t appear at baggage claim in Fresno. It took about half an hour to locate a staff member to open up the locked room where it was being kept.

Do not like the feeling of being in the basic economy. Everyone should feel good no matter what.

All flights were on time and boarding was issue free

Terrible! The plane was old and you are required to connect your own device to their Wi-Fi rather than have entertainment options in the back of the seat in front of you. The Wi-Fi went out during the flight and there was only one plug for the devices every two seats. Three out of five surrounding my family did not work. The seats and spaces under them were so small I could not fit my backpack, which I’ve always brought on flights and fit before no problem. The crew were unpleasant and patronizing.

Great! The plane was decently sized and comfortable. The staff was nice and there was great in flight entertainment

Water service would be great. The way they board is terrible. Slow passengers first😂😂 They need to smart up a bit

Our original business class flight was cancelled so we not only downgraded but we were also spread out across the plane not sitting together in separate middle seats. My poor kids were scared and couldn’t see me on the flight and the crew wasn’t sensitive to the situation and what the airlines did to us. Very dissatisfied with United airlines.

Crew were fine, drinks and snacks were as well but we were delayed for around 2 hrs which made our entry into Mexico delayed as well with the influx of arrivals at the same time. Sort of wasted our first day of vacation. We left Pittsburgh at 630am and did not arrive in Mexico until late dinner time.

They gave my seat away although it was a connecting flight with them and the flight was a bit delayed.

Flight was cancelled had to move to another gate late again no internet paid for the month and never can use it waste of money

Not being able to purchase my check in baggage online was a negative.

LATE LATE LATE!!! Plagued by late AA flights on this trip. Such a drag. This one was by far the worst.

WiFi connected but only let you go to the AA website, not even text messaging worked.

Too bad that first class seats do not recline significantly causing discomfort

Flight delayed over an over all day until it cancelled at 1:30am. Would not repeatedly delay that late. Offer hotel rooms and rebook early. Very difficult for families with small children

this is starting to seem like an american airlines standard. delayed flights and fake apologies… getting tired of it

This flight is frequently delayed. The connections seemingly are more frequently delayed. I’ve missed connections as a result twice on the same route to charlotte then Charleston. Final destination arrival has been the next day, twice in a row. No pilots, no crew. Too many excuses. Unfortunately, my days with American are over.

Entertainment was okay not because anything was wrong but it is a short flight so having no wifi is annoying but understandable. Crew was outstanding as usual

I paid for WiFi, but it (WiFi) was very very slow, will never take again! Impossible open Utube 😤😤😤

I had no legroom, although I paid for extra legroom. I could barely put my bag in front of my feet and under the seat. The Wi-Fi was horrible. In fact the flight attendant said that they had to reboot it and see if it was going to work and never did.

The guy with severe body odor sat next to me. For the whole duration of the flight it was a torture. The airline should have better policy on limiting people with bad body odor to board the flight. Passengers should not be the ones to endure bad odor for the whole duration of the flight. The airline should be e the one to ensure decent air quality for ever passenger.

Overall it was a miserable experience... I will never fly spirit for more than a 3 hour flight or overnight.

The boarding attendant was slightly rude when I asked about checking our stroller. Made me feel like I was bothering her.

My wife and I are both handicapped and at boarding they upgraded us to a seat closer to the front rather than all the way towards the back. Much appreciated.

Not much seat room, but that was unexpected. But the seat headrest was very uncomfortable.

First the good, everyone was friendly and efficient. Flight was smooth and plane was very clean and new. Now the bad, seats have almost no padding on your behind. I was in exit row so I had tons of leg room for a 6' 2" bean pole with long legs. Everything was extra - water, soda, snacks everything besides oxygen. Ya get what you pay for, and my flight was cheap as you could ever want it, so no worries.

Ya get what you pay for, and my flight was cheap as you could ever want it, so no worries. They dont really bother you about carry-on size, I brought a descent sized backpack and they didnt even check.

Spirit canceled the flight in March and never notified me!

Six hour delay. Poor customer service. No voucher. Bad communication. Missed important appointments.

Our flight was delayed an hour, then when we got to board our flight finally, we were waiting in our seats for take off for 45 minutes before it was communicated that there was a maintenance issue therefore we waited on the plane for over an hour while that was resolved. We did not get to Phoenix until almost 3 hours after we were originally supposed to. This was the first and last time I will be flying Frontier.

Flight was canceled with little warning. Flight was rebooked through Ontario, California and connecting flight was delayed by over three hours. Frontier is living up to their Greyhound of the skies reputation for sure.

I purchased a carry on bag online…was supposed to cost $72 but after a whole slew of bs charges, the total was over $175.00. Because of these hidden charges, I will not even consider flying Frontier ever again. It’s just not worth the hassle. I’m scratching this company off my list forever.

Flight was OK. Seats were good no cell phone charges on the plane no TVs or entertainment.

There were 3 leg for the trip and each leg was delayed by 90 minutes or more. The boarding process takes forever with people waiting on the jetway even though most folks do not have carry-on. The whole process is poorly managed.

Flight cancelled and was told by a rude gate agent that they don’t accommodate on other airlines. Had to wait 5 hours for a connecting flight that had a 7 hour layover. Would not allow bags to be checked early so we couldn’t go through security .Had to rent a car for the afternoon to store bags and get a meal. Also incurred a hotel fee. No apology or reason given for the cancellation- just rudeness.

They cancelled the flight then did nothing to help us rebook. It was awful - I won’t fly with them again

The process of buying the ticket and navigating all the hidden charges that Frontier throws at you was a terrible experience. The actual airport experience and flying was fine.

The truck that was refueling the plane drove away with the hose still connected to the plane and ripped part of the plane off with it
