These are the things that really matter, and my home airport of Birmingham also checks all of these boxes. However, what sets ABQ apart is the fantastic regionally appropriate architecture, decor, and art. You step off the plane and are immediately greeted by southwestern flair, soaring hot air balloons, and lots of terracotta. I've been told there have been recent renovations to the airport due to all the recent Netflix money and talent going in and out.

Second time this happened to me at this rinkydink TSA operation. First they nailed an elderly lady in front of me in a wheelchair, made her take off her plastic boot cast. Wow. Then the guy in front of me got bounced from metal detector about his sneakers, had him go through the scanner. Then I get nailed "randomly" and need to get scanned. Scanner rejected me for a Velcro tactical belt specially made for airport travel. Get the pat down, frisked. While all this is going on my backpack gets rejected. Deodorant 0.2 ounces over the limit. These people specifically look for this stuff - deodorant and toothpaste - they get so excited it's a real trip for them at ABQ. In Kansas City I saw one TSA lady jumping up and down finding a tiny nail file in someone's nail clippers - she's yelling "...told you, told you, I knew it!" Instead of focusing on real security breaches like loaded firearms and knives or daggers, the TSA focuses on nonsense. If you don't believe me go online and look at all the loaded firearms that get through on random testing. Focusing on the wrong things folks. Have a nice day !!!

I have not flown on Southwest for over 6 months, so today is the first time I experienced the new…read moreassigned seating. Bravo Southwest, everything went smoothly due to flight attendants wonderful assistance getting everyone on a full flight. However, will mention thatI was in boarding group 3 of 8 boarding groups and was seated in row 5, that may have helped. What I am really excited to share is the new snack selection. Gone are the days of course of the honey roasted peanuts and make me thirsty pretzels. Drum roll please! On my relatively short flight from San Diego to Dallas I not only received one or tow, but three snacks. I will call them inclusion snack trio because there is something for everyone, lol! The first and the one I was most excited about was the siete's Mexican Wedding grain free cookies, I am glad I am starting with these. Perfect for those with gluten sensitivity; however, not good for me. The portion was very small, and the cookie tasted nothing like a Mexican Wedding Cake cookie. The cookie had an odd taste and the coating was nothing like powder sugar. The texture was very crunchy and nothing like the delightful texture of a short bread cookie. Needless to say I could not finish the small portion and had to give them to my husband, he will eat anything. Ok, so the second snack was Remy's Grahams Cinnamon Graham Crackers. I like them, they taste as you would expect a cinnamon graham cracker to taste. The portion was a generous. The product is nut free, so good for all you no peanut people. The company also says that they have no artificial colors, no artificial flavors or preservatives. The third item and my personal favorite by a long shot was Stellar Mini Pretzel Brands in the Maui Monk flavor. The pretzels are vegan and peanut butter free. These are delicious!!! Way to go Stellar snacks!! How you made a pretzel taste so mouth watering buttery with vegan products is magical. In addition the sweet perfect Maui onion flavor is delightful. Yes, will scanning the QR code on the back of the packaging to find out where procure the wonderful product. I would also like to give a shout out to the wonderful flight attendant crew of flight #3906 for San Diego to Dallas on July 30, 2026. Thank you Jamie, Larry and Dani, you made a 6 AM flight fun!

Such a cheerful flight attendant that took care of us on the 2 hour flight. We joked that Southwest should add New Year's Day to the free drink schedule. She said she would take it up with management. We like to travel on holidays as the flights are not packed. And the upgrades to the 737-800 MAX are nice. Future reviews may not be as kind because I really enjoyed the open seating policy they have maintained for decades.

You can get to the deck via stairs or an elevator. The deck has a neat lounge area with tables and chairs, sofas, loungers and workstations with power outlets and seating along a huge bay window that overlooks the runway. Another feature up on teh deck that you may miss is that there is a flight status board up there to help you keep track of your flight. I really like this spot and I have been to and through many airports and have not seen anything like this spot. If you are going through ABQ and have some time to kill, this is a nice spot to consider passing some time at. It is very chill, comfortable and picturesque. It is definitely worth a peak.

Nice Airport Lounge…read more After clearing the TSA checkpoint we headed upstairs to this public observation deck. It has plenty of seating and comfy couches where we can kick back before heading to our gate. There is also a desk/charging station to use and plug smart phones and laptops. Plenty of round tables, coffee tables and some wall plugs. I see some flight crew personnel hanging out here, passengers having breakfast/lunch. It is clean and nicely decorated with plants/planters. There are chairs and round tables right by the huge windows where incoming planes can be seen taxiing and watch planes get ready for takeoff. There are no restrooms in this area but there is an elevator and flight schedule monitors to check your flight status. This beats waiting at the gate for our boarding time. Wished we had something like this in SMF. Review #0533

After reading the great Yelp reviews, I contacted Adrian to arrange a late-night pickup from Albuquerque to Santa Fe on a busy Thanksgiving weekend. Despite the short notice, he kindly fit us in. Adrian and our driver, Brad, stayed in constant communication with us and our daughter throughout the entire process. When her flight was delayed even further, Brad remained in touch, adjusted the pickup accordingly, and made sure she arrived safely in Santa Fe. Our most precious cargo, our daughter, was in the best hands. We are deeply grateful to the Certified Airport Transportation team and recommend them without hesitation. Their professionalism and care were outstanding. We look forward to using their service again. Thank you, Adrian and Brad!

We had the opportunity to visit once again during the Balloon Fiesta and were staying in Albuquerque. A day trip to Santa Fe sounded like the perfect idea so we hopped online and purchased our tickets. The process was fairly simple and extremely inexpensive (our toddler was even free)!

We had the opportunity to see great views of the mountains and some of agricultural land through New Mexico. If you are visiting Albuquerque or Santa Fe, I strongly encourage a trip on the Rail Runner. It's definitely a great economical option for travel!
