Travel and Lodging Information

TRANSPORTATION

Albuquerque is the major air terminal. Los Alamos may be reached from Albuquerque International Airport by a scenic two-hour drive. Rental cars are available at the Albuquerque airport through all major companies. The Laboratory has a contract with Budget which provides liability, collision and loss coverage on all official Laboratory rentals at NO EXTRA COST. Travelers should DECLINE coverage when offered, as the purchase of additional insurance is not necessary and cannot be reimbursed by the Laboratory.

There is also a small airport in Santa Fe, serviced by United Airlines and American Airlines. United Airlines have four flights per day (including Sunday) from Denver to Santa Fe. Aspen Mountain Air, serving as a shuttle for American Airlines, has three flights per day from Dallas to Santa Fe.

Albuquerque Airport to Hotel Santa Fe is a 60-minute trip via the Santa Fe Shuttle, a luxury service. The current fare is $23.00 per person, each way.
