Transportation from/to Albuquerque Intl. Airport

Santa Fe is approximately a one-hour drive from Albuquerque. Because of the diverse flight schedules, we recommend that you use Sandia Shuttle Express. The Sandia Shuttle Express check-in counter is located inside the airport on the Baggage Claim Level across from Southwest's Baggage Carousel #3.

The check-in counter is staffed by customer service representatives between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM seven days a week. Beyond these hours, the shuttle drivers staff the check-in counter approximately 30 minutes before each departure. Reservations are required to guarantee a seat, but walk-on passengers are welcome if space is available.

Shuttle rates to/from Santa Fe are $23 one way and $43 roundtrip if prepaid and reservations are made for both at the same time. To reserve your seat, call Sandia Shuttle Express Toll Free 888-775-5696. For additional information, refer to their web site http://www.sandiashuttle.com/ideas.html or contact Ann.

Please have Sandia Shuttle Express drop you off at the College of Santa Fe, St. Michael's Hall.

If you require shuttle bus service, please cover costs and we will reimburse you. Please submit your receipts to Pamela Tomski for reimbursement. See "Reimbursement of Costs" section below for procedure on submitting your expense worksheet.
