Standard & Strange Santa Fe Store Grand Opening Party

There are two airports that service the Santa Fe area - Albuquerque (ABQ) and Santa Fe (SAF). Albuquerque airport has more daily flight service, and flights are generally cheaper than flights to Santa Fe.

We recommend using Google Flights to find and book your airfare.

We recommend avoiding layovers in Denver (DEN) if you can, as flights are often cancelled due to bad weathers.

Albuquerque airport is a smaller airport that's very mellow to fly in and out of. It's about a 50 minute drive away from Downtown Santa Fe.

You can rent a car at the airport or take a shuttle bus ($35 each way, via Sandia Shuttle) to arrive in Santa Fe.

Shuttle buses run hourly and arrive in Downtown Santa Fe after 70-80 minutes.

From the West Coast

Southwest and United have direct flights from Oakland, Los Angeles and other major cities.

From the East Coast

Jet Blue have some direct flights from NYC. United, American and Southwest have 1-stop flights from most major cities. Avoid layovers in Denver (DEN) if you can.

Santa Fe Airport is tiny - it has two gates and is in an adobe building. It's a dream compared to bustling big city airports. Food service is largely nonexistent.

It's about a 15-20 minute drive away from Downtown Santa Fe.

Uber and Lyft exist in Santa Fe but it can take 10 minutes or more for a car to arrive.

Direct flight service is limited, but many 1-stop flights are available from most major airports.
