To get to from the Santa Fe airport to hotels or the conference center, you can rent a car, call a taxi, or take the RoadRunner Shuttle (advance reservations required online or by calling (505) 424-3367).
To Albuquerque: The closest major airport is Albuquerque International Sunport (link is external) (ABQ), which is served by Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, United, and US Airways. To get from ABQ to Santa Fe, you have several options:
- Airporter: The Sandia Shuttle (link is external) runs door-to-door service directly from ABQ to Santa Fe hotels and other destinations. The shuttle leaves ABQ every hour from 8:45 am to 10:45 pm, and leaves Santa Fe every hour from 5:00 am to 7:00 pm. The cost is $30 one way or $55 round trip. Reservations at www.sandiashuttle.com (link is external) or call (888) 775-5696.
- Public Transportation: The New Mexico RailRunner (link is external) is a commuter train from downtown Albuquerque (link is external) to the Santa Fe Railyard Depot (link is external), which costs $9 one-way ($4 for youth, students, and seniors). On weekdays (link is external), an ABQ ride shuttle bus (link is external) runs between the ABQ Sunport and the Downtown Albuquerque station. The shuttle is free if you have already purchased your train ticket online, or $1 if you do not have a train ticket. The weekday shuttle leaves the airport and connects to the northbound train at 9:10 am, 4:01 pm, 5:09 pm, and 6:10 pm. The RailRunner also runs from Santa Fe to Albuquerque on weekends, but there is no weekend shuttle between the Albuquerque train station and ABQ. On Saturday, you can take ABQ Ride route 50 (link is external) from the train station to ABQ. On Sunday, there is no bus service and you will need to take a taxi to ABQ. The Santa Fe Railyard Depot is within walking distance of all conference hotels, or you can call your hotel for a free shuttle pickup at the station.
