Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is the region’s main commercial airport and typically serves as New Mexico’s primary gateway, with a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines offering domestic connections and some seasonal routes. It sits about 6–7 miles southeast of downtown Albuquerque, so travel into the city is relatively quick: taxis and rideshares usually take 15–20 minutes, with fares commonly in a moderate range, while an ABQ RIDE bus can take 30–40 minutes for a lower-cost option. The airport is compact and generally easy to navigate, which can make connections convenient, though services and frequency may be more limited than at larger hubs. Car rental availability is robust, but be mindful that peak times can affect wait times.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the region’s major international hub, handling long-haul carriers alongside U.S. legacy and several transcontinental low-cost airlines. It’s located about 13 miles (21 km) south of downtown San Francisco, with travel times typically around 20–35 minutes by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) or 20–45 minutes by car depending on traffic; taxi and rideshare fares can vary widely, while BART fares are usually moderate.
