Don't expect drinks or snacks on shorter flights bring your own. Expect delays it is very common on delta
NFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2026
Only do carry on the checked bag was stressful and time consuming.
MicheleFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2026
Be sure your actually getting window seats before paying extra fees.

Read all fine print and ask questions before finalizing payment for an upgrade

Also delayed. SAF road under ongoing construction for next several years. Car rental pickup is a disastrous 4 wheel drive off toad experience. Maybe flying ABX is better and then drive up to Santa Fe

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 does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United States to New Mexico?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United States to New Mexico.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United States to New Mexico?

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.

Flight was early and boarding the plane was flawless. The temperature on the flight was warm and my vent didnt work for air blowing. I only had a biscuit as a snack.

Flight was early and boarding the plane was flawless. The temperature on the flight was warm and my vent didnt work for air blowing. I only had a biscuit as a snack.

Service is always great with Alaska. Baggage services seems to be delayed in Seattle but Alaska airlines follows up with excellent customer service

Flight was delayed 1.5 hours. Inflight WiFi did not work. Servide in first class was very good.

The bags arrived much later than expected. The boarding was done slowly. The taxi time was too long at SEA. It is a bad airport for international connections.

We had paid for window seats just to not get window seats. When we ask the flight attendant to switch seats she said no because it was a full flight. It was the the worst experience I had ever.

This was our first time flying with Alaska. It was a seamless experience, with comfortable seats and leg room. Staff were friendly and helpful.

They only had one flight to my destination for the entire day. Six hour layover. Coming from their sister airline we didn't have any boarding grouping on our boarding tickets. Had to ask where we were within the grouping.

Cabin was a bit cold. Didn’t seem like they turned up the heat until we were half way. All personnel were wonderful.

The boarding was fine.the crew was efficient and helpful.

I like the airplane E175. I will never fly on a 737 Max.

I understand the delays caused by the storm, but that doesn’t mean the systems had to be chaotic. The app showed one thing, the screens showed something else, and the gates kept changing every 10 minutes. It was a nightmare trying to figure out where to go.

Multiple delays due to weather in Chicago, but the crew did their best to get flights rescheduled and on to their destination. I felt like the crews handled a frustrating situation very well, kudos to them! I was very glad to not have a cancelled flight.

Southwest’s point to point system caused a 2 hour delay due to the crew being late from their inbound flight. Also, the WiFi and entertainment didn’t work on the plane.

I don't know why flying out of Sarasota requires two plane changes.

mandatory demand customer to check their carry on because not enough people check bags.

No trays in our seats, we sat in first row, purchased a business class fare. Had to hold our drinks and snack in our hands. No plugs for our cell phones. Had to pay for it a drink cocktail each. Seats so uncomfortable.

Bring back peanuts Take our drink orders when were all seated, especially after you switch to assigned seating.

The last 30 min or so, they put the heat on full. We thought we were being basted.

Delayed 4 hours due to mechanical issues. No mention of compensation for being over 3 hours late

They wouldn’t serve us 🥤 drinks, said there was too much turbulence, I must have been on different plane ✈️

Flight was very delayed so I was able to get on an earlier flight via stand-by. Crew communicated effectively around delay and worked to make customers comfortable. Wifi was ok, streaming TV was great. App functionality broke down once I was moved to stand-by on earlier flight.

Everything was great except the fact that catering did not restock the flight from ATL to GRB and we were only offered water.

The cabin was definitely dated, but that's about par for the course. The flight crew were wonderful as always (always a Delta highlight), but the boarding process was slow with little direction or encouragement to get people in their seats quickly since we were already delayed.

Flight was delayed and not a lot of communication on why until we got on the plane.

Horrible experience. Delta delayed the flight to 11pm which happens. Apparently the pilots were there but we were waiting for flight attendants to arrive from Detroit and they were delayed. They could have made arrangements but that’s fine. What was truly horrible was that at 10:50pm the pilot comes out and says the flight will be cancelled but hasn’t been cancelled yet in the system. It’s being cancelled because the pilots have timed out. As soon as that plane got delayed past 10:50pm delta knew it couldn’t fly. Yet they made us wait around for hours. When the flight finally got cancelled all the area hotels were booked and flights for the next day were unavailable until midday. All I wanted was to spend one day with my family before needing to fly abroad on another delta flight. That will be my last flight with them. I’ll take my 800k miles flown and annual spend to an airline that isn’t so thoughtless.

Totally organized, quick boarding, professional staff and ON TIME! Good size seats in the cabin Wonderful experience

Delay from Atlanta to Tampa was simply unacceptable. Multiple delays led to us landing after 3am. Worst travel experience of my life

It was good delayed again but once on board the flight crew were very good the entertainment and wifi worked on this plane and we were offered snacks and drinks

I upgraded to first class only to find out that I still had no access to the sky lounge without a sky miles card or AmEx (something that should be emphasized outside of the fine print!) Also, no food or drink service provided during the flight, so I basically paid 4x more just for “free” checked baggage and a bigger seat. Not worth it.

I am so shocked at the service in first class. We were not greeted or offered a beverage for 45 minutes into the flight. She did however have time to write a long note. I just wanted a snack and something to drink. We were never offered coffee and the snacks came after dinner? It was the oddest flight I have ever been on. The gentleman next to me got up and gave our dinner box’s to the flight attendant and asked for a second glass of wine for each of us. Our dinner boxes sat on our tray for 20 minutes. She was rather distracted. He then asked another flight attendant for wine… finally we had a second glass. I was trying to give her some grace, she also told the man next me we couldn’t have any more wine because we drank it all… after landing the seasoned traveler next me ask for her employee number. Then it was a mutiny! She was refusing and it got tense. The captain came and asked what was happening, the flight attendants totally gave a biased account of the fact. The captain told the police the man I was seated next to was intoxicated! That was completely inaccurate and it really escalated things. I policeman found me at the luggage carousel to verify the facts. The flight attendants made false accusations that he touched them! That never happened. It was a very poorly trained crew. I am so anngry and shock by the entire experience! It was terrible service! I would like a refund for what I paid to be in first class and the most uncomfortable flight ever. I always fly Delta, it has been wonderful. I was so flustered by the entire experience! Please give me an update on this matter! Thank you, Kelle Myers

Flight delayed over an hour with plane on runway because of weather in an area of the country we were not in or flying to.

Flight was delayed almost an hour because the cleaning crew broke one of the bathroom doors.

Comfortable seats and good crew. There should be some breakfast options in menu for economy class to purchase Wifi was not working in the flight

First class flight crew was barely available. They came through 3 times while we were on the plane for nearly 4 hours.

Please stop those idiotic and unrelenting announcements, commercials and stupid credit card drivel. All together about 15 minutes of stupidness that annoys each passenger.

On time. Accommodated carry on and personal bag in the plane. Good entertainment available and access without using own device. Gave a whole can of juice rather than a pour. Seat did not recline much.

Flight attendant incredibly rude. Stuck her finger in my drink and didn’t even have the courtesy to apologize.

I like the first class seat amenities like the phone charger on the armrest even though it didnt really work on mine and the partition between the seats. I also liked that there were additional places to stash things during the flight. The food I got was steak and it was really tough to cut with the knife. Chewy too. A little disappointed in that. I liked that your name is on the screen too. nice touch. great service overall.

We had a delay, but thankfully I made it to my connection. Overall it went smooth

Very uncomfortable seats and seat backs, and I am only 5’9”. Delayed due to crew issues, spent a long time with no ventilation. Teeny overhead bins. Wifi worked well. Arrived safely.

It was OK, but it was delayed about an hour, and my luggage didn't arrive till about an hour and a half after the flight

First no airplane at the gate because the previous flight was canceled (and they didn't know?) Then we board and there's a maintenance issue. Then we're told the technician doesnt have the right certification and they need to call another. Then FINALLY we are taxiing. But wait! Flight plans expire after 3 hours and we were not granted permission to take off. So taxi was halted while a new flight plan was filed. Then....no beverage service. Never flying American Airlines again. If they mess up operations this much, how good can their maintenance or training possibly be?

First class snacks - stewardess gave out multiples to everyone until there was almost no selection left when she got back to me last in first class cabin. Nothing left that I would eat.

I understand that the plane is a regional jet, but American Airlines can do better! They have been operating these planes for 25 years by now. The seats are uncomfortable, and both boarding and deplaning are painful and waste a lot of time due to carry-on baggage.

Delays and multiple changes in gates. In accurate info sent to phone. Worst flight in years. With no apologies or recompense.

Flight was delayed for 2 hours, then last minute the change to on time. The satélite location is far and a nightmare to get to.

This time there was nothing to be better, really! Boarding on time, taking off on time and arriving earlier. The only complain is about way too long line at pre-check security point at DFW. But this is the airport’s problem, not American Airline.

Re-checking our bags, the workers were not able to help us with boarding passes for the flight, told us to wait, then ignored us while they helped many other passengers. Until I got rude, they would have left us standing there, and even then they were very curt and dismissive in telling us where to get boarding passes printed. We made it to the gate just as they were starting to board passengers. It was just rude customer service.

I had first class itinerary, yet they put me boarding group 5 from FNT to ORD! I spoke with the gate agent though, and she let me board in Group 1 like I should have been assigned. Would've liked water on that flight. I'm glad that I asked about food on the flight from ORD to DALLAS. If I fly United from ORD to any city in Texas, they always offer a hot meal and regardless if it is a time in between meal times. The excuse was that it was not dinner time yet. It was almost 6pm?? And the flight was over 2 hours. There were some healthy snack options at least, but fresh snacks like apples or something would be nice. At least offer cheese plates or similar. Please bring seatback screens like United is doing. The flight attendant in first class was wonderful.

Gate lady was short & annoyed with us when we had already missed our connection to Albuquerque. She finally gave us both center seats. American Airlines is my least favorite airlines.
