Cheap Flights from Denver International (DEN) to Albuquerque (ABQ)

One of the United States’ fastest growing cities, Denver is a unique blend of cowboys and modern art, working class folks and the cosmopolitan scene. It is home to 3 million people (in the greater metro area) and provides top-notch views of the nearby Rocky Mountains. The range is just 12 miles west of downtown Denver, and is visited by millions of tourists every year.

New Mexico’s largest city is located 334 miles almost directly to the South of Denver, and is also situated at a higher than average altitude. Mirroring its Colorado neighbor, the ABQ is the fastest growing in its state as well, thanks to its high standard of living and influx of jobs from the New Mexico Technology Corridor. Continental Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways offer direct flights from Denver to Albuquerque.

Leaving Denver

Before you can get a bird’s eye view of The Rockies, you will need to make your way to Denver International. This is the largest airport that serves the Colorado Rocky Mountain Region and Denver metro, and in just two short decades has come to be the sixth busiest on the planet for total aircraft movement.

Regarding annual passenger traffic, its 53 million-flight base rivals many of the largest airports in the world. The facility houses a two-sided terminal, three concourses, and a convenient passenger bridge that connects Concourse A and Jeppeson Terminal. Free WiFi is offered throughout the entire airport, and Paradise 4 Paws is a unique, on-site pet resort that features dog massage therapy, obedience training, and a splashing pool!

All aboard the Flight to Albuquerque

A desert metropolis in the heart of New Mexico, The Duke City may not receive as much tourist traffic as northern Santa Fe, but it sure has plenty of amazing attractions for those willing to make the trip!

If we had to isolate one reason to travel to Albuquerque, it would be to see the city’s annual, autumn hot-air balloon fiesta. Each fall, the sky is full of colorful balloons and the streets lined with thousands of people who know how to kick back and have a good time!

The Sandia Peak Tramway, Explora Science Center, ABQ Biological Park, and Indian Pueblo Cultural Center are just a few more reasons to make your way South. Thanks to our cheap flights from Denver to Albuquerque, Skyscanner can help you get there for less!
