Albuquerque International Sunport gets solid Southwest coverage with nonstop flights from Denver, Dallas Love Field, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago Midway, Houston Hobby, San Diego, Austin, and more. The Sunport (that is actually what the airport is called) sits right in the middle of the city, about 3 miles from downtown. Albuquerque is the gateway to Santa Fe, Taos, and northern New Mexico.
Cheapest Months to Travel
January and February are the cheapest months. September is also good value. The Balloon Fiesta in early October drives up fares for that specific window.
Peak Travel Seasons to Avoid
Balloon Fiesta (first two weeks of October) is the biggest peak. Summer months and holiday travel in December are also more expensive.
Best Time to Book
For Balloon Fiesta travel, book 8 to 12 weeks in advance. For regular travel, 3 to 6 weeks ahead is fine.
Midweek Advantage
Tuesday and Wednesday flights are cheapest. Balloon Fiesta weekends in October can cost 2 to 3 times the normal fare.
Time Difference to Note
Albuquerque is on Mountain Time (MT). Same as Denver and Colorado Springs. 1 hour behind Central Time, 2 hours behind Eastern, 1 hour ahead of Pacific.
