The Sunport sits barely 6 km from downtown, so the drive in is a quarter of an hour. Balloon Fiesta Park is on the far north side — allow 25–30 minutes, and much longer on morning-session days, when traffic to the launch field backs up before dawn.

Santa Fe (SAF)
instead of Albuquerque (ABQ)
A small airport with a handful of daily connections, worth checking when ABQ fares spike during Balloon Fiesta week — it's about an hour's drive down I-25, and pairs well with a night in Santa Fe.
