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.
EricFlew with Delta-Oct 2024
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.

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 fine. Only thing was flight was delayed nearly 2 hours. Flight was originally scheduled to depart at 7:50pm but didn't depart until 9:50pm. I got home around midnight. It was later than desired and I had to get up early next day to take kids to practice. I have noticed that last flight of day on West Coast for Southwest always tend to have delays.

Wasn't expecting this, but, we actually ended up getting assigned to the first row of seats!!!!! The extra legroom came in handy

Trash experience on all my flights this week. Delay after delay. The flight I’m waiting for has been delayed 6 times and nearly 3 hours.

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 ✈️

Delayed 2-3 hours. We boarded one plane, then had to deplane, and board another. Got to Houston 2 hours after the scheduled time at 2 am CST.

I paid a substantial additional fee to upgrade to Premium Class because I wanted a more comfortable, peaceful flight. Instead, Alaska seated a couple traveling with a 14-month-old lap child directly beside me. The child was loud throughout the flight—screaming, throwing objects, and tossing food around the row. What I paid extra to make relaxing and enjoyable became stressful, cramped, and absolutely miserable. There was nothing “premium” about the experience beyond a few additional inches of legroom. I understand that families and young children need to travel. However, Alaska sells Premium Class as an upgraded experience and charges passengers accordingly. If the airline is going to collect a significant premium for added comfort, it should give customers some meaningful way to protect that investment—whether through better seating options, advance notice, the ability to relocate when seats are available, or a refund when the experience is completely undermined. I would not pay for this upgrade again. It was a waste of money, and I intend to contact Alaska directly to request a refund of the Premium Class upgrade fee.

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.

Gate agents call groups one and two and give about 3-5 minutes for each group to board, then the call groups three and four together and it causes a bottleneck in the line. Give each group 3-5 minutes to board before calling the next group.

We sat at the gate for over 30 minutes, with no indication as to why

I didn't really interact with any of the crew since we had a bumpy ride and no refreshments were distributed.

It was delayed over an hour and a lot of announcements disrupting movie.

I didn't use the onboard amenities, so it is difficult to comment on those services. Otherwise, the flight from Nashville to Toronto was quite crowded, but the boarding process and the flight itself were perfectly fine.

Seats were old and very uncomfortable. Coach seating is way too tight

WiFi was a major problem and if it does not work on a 4 hour flight then that lowers the overall experience

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

Smooth flight, easy boarding process. Made up time in the air with initial delay due to weather pass through

Usual wait for over a half hour for a gate at Ohare. They tell you you'll get there early then sit on the plane and wait almost an hour

Plane congestion resulted in a 1 hr wait from landing to arrival at the gate. This was in addition to also experiencing extreme delays on my incoming flight.

Delayed too much. 1.5 hrs in the airport and another 1 hr in the runway. Got too late in the night. There was no proper food available.

awesome team work seen since on board till off plane in my destination. thanks you so much.

Job well done, being treated for good and helping a lot . thanks you so much till will meet against.

Very disappointing that on an international business class flight they would not give me access to the lounge in Boston. They said it was because it was a codeshare flight. International business class should include lounge access regardless of codeshare.

They did not have free WIFI and I was not okay with that!

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.

The crew was wonderful, the plane was fine. We left the gate on time, but we had to wait 40 minutes on the tarmac because of all the congestion at Boston.

ontime. Seats are terribly close together for someone my height.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a flight with American that has been without problems. Mostly delays - this time for over 3 hours. They should have just brought another plane into the terminal but they just had everyone sitting around misterable all day. They turned a 3 hour flight into a 12 hour trip for me (including the “planned” layover). It was ridiculous.

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.
