AIRLINES There are three airports that serve Las Cruces. By far the most convenient is the El Paso International Airport, approx. 50 miles SE of Las Cruces. The major airlines that serve El Paso are American, America West, Continental, Delta, Frontier, and Southwest. Once in El Paso, it is approximately a one hour drive to Las Cruces, proceeding west on I-10. Ground transportation for those who don't wish to rent a car is available through the Las Cruces Shuttle (please see below). Las Cruces International Airport lies 13 miles to the west of the city. Although very convenient, Las Cruces cannot economically sustain a major carrier due to its proximity to El Paso and thus only has five commuter flights a day, all of which are to Albuquerque. The only airline that serves Las Cruces is Mesa. The third airport is Albuquerque, 220 miles N of Las Cruces. The airlines that serve Albuquerque are American, America West, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Mesa, Southwest, TWA and United. Once in Albuquerque, it is either approximately a three-hour drive, due south on I-25, or a one-hour flight on Mesa airlines.   HOTELS A list of the newer/better hotels in Las Cruces follows.
