Santa Fe is located in Northern New Mexico, an hour's drive north of Albuquerque, the state's largest city and major air gateway. The Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) as the airport is officially known, is serviced by all of the major U.S. airlines. Flying into Albuquerque and renting a car is by far the most popular way of traveling around New Mexico. But not the only way. Train service provides access to New Mexico on a daily basis as does the bus. The Santa Fe Municipal Airport (SAF) is open to private aircraft. Starting June 11, 2009 American Eagle offers a nonstop daily flight arriving at the Santa Fe Municipal Airport at 11:45 a.m. from Dallas and returning there with a 12:10 p.m. departure from Santa Fe.Click here for full details - download PDF.

Once in town, getting around is easy. Downtown Santa Fe and the surrounding historic districts are compact and most conveniently traveled on foot. For longer trips there is a local taxi service, a public transportation system, Santa Fe Trails, charter vans and limousine service. Rental cars can also be picked up in Santa Fe.
