“I think it’s really cool. I really like that now we can have the option just because if it is like, if I have to take a flight, I would have to drive an hour to El Paso, an hour back, so now, it’s just more convenient,” said another traveler.
A flight from Albuquerque to Las Cruces takes around 54 minutes. Traveling by car would take around three hours.
