Dallas is served primarily by Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) and Dallas Love Field (DAL), each playing different roles. DFW is a major international hub handling a large share of long-haul and connecting flights, with a wide mix of legacy carriers and global alliances; fares can be competitive for transcontinental and international routes thanks to scale. It sits roughly 20–25 miles northwest of downtown Dallas, with the DART Orange Line extension and commuter buses, plus rideshares and taxis; typical travel times run 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, and transit fares are modest while rideshare/taxi costs vary by distance. Pros: extensive flight options, many amenities and lounges. Cons: large layout can mean longer transfers and walk times. Dallas Love Field (DAL) functions more as a domestic and short-haul airport, often favoured by low-cost carriers and point-to-point leisure/business travelers; fares on these routes can be perceived as budget-friendly, though seat restrictions may apply. It’s located about 6–8 miles north of downtown, making it a quicker option for central Dallas access. Ground links include DART light rail, local buses, rideshares and taxis, with journeys commonly in the 15–25 minute range and relatively low transit fares. Pros: compact terminals and shorter walking distances. Cons: fewer international connections and a smaller airline network compared with DFW.

Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is the city’s primary commercial airport and typically functions as a regional hub for both legacy carriers and budget airlines, with Southwest, American and United commonly serving the route network. Fares can be competitive compared with larger U.S. gateways, though prices vary by season and demand. The airport sits about 6 miles (10 km) southeast of downtown Albuquerque; driving usually takes 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis and ride-hailing services are widely available, often costing roughly $15–$30, while ABQ RIDE buses provide a lower-cost option in about 30–40 minutes. Pros: compact layout and short walk times through security; cons: limited late-night amenities and fewer nonstop long-haul options than major international hubs.
