Travel
Flights to ABQ are usually pretty easy to find! The Albuquerque International Airport (Sunport) is a great little airport. I would book your tickets in advance because it's right around the amazing international balloon fiesta and flights could get expensive. From the airport, It's about a 20 min drive to the Rael residence and a 10 minute drive to the heart of downtown. There is a small airport in Santa Fe but it's likely more expensive to fly in and out of. Santa Fe is about an hour away from Albuquerque.
Staying in ABQ: There are some great hotels and some awesome airbnbs. We recommend hopping on the airbnb app to look at what is close by.
Transportation: We recommend Lyft or Uber.
