New Mexico Destinations By Plane: Airports and Airlines
The most popular airport gateways to New Mexico destinations like Santa Fe, Taos and other New Mexico cities are Albuquerque and El Paso. Major American airlines such as American Airlines, Continental, Delta, Express Jet, Southwest, United and US Airways serve both airports. However, within New Mexico itself, air travel is not very common. As such, only a limited number of air carriers have flights between New Mexico’s cities.
New Mexico Destinations By Car
If you plan to drive your own vehicle to and around New Mexico, the first thing you have to do is give it a thorough road check. As the state is full of desert and wilderness spaces, it is definitely not fun to get stranded in the middle of nowhere with a car that doesn’t run. Also be sure to check with your insurance company for your coverage out of state.
