Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from CNM to El Paso Intl. Airport (ELP) last minute?
Booking your flight from Cavern City Air Terminal to El Paso Intl. Airport at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you strike it lucky and find a real bargain. However, tickets usually don’t come down in price closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you’d rather not take any chances, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Keep in mind that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for El Paso from Carlsbad?
There are two — El Paso Intl. Airport (ELP) and Las Cruces, NM (LRU-Las Cruces Intl.). Both are excellent choices for those flying from Carlsbad to El Paso. If you pick El Paso Intl. Airport (ELP), you’ll touch down about 6 mi northeast of the center of El Paso. After you’ve settled in to your comfy digs, it’s time to explore the city’s best attractions.

Can I change the date of my flight from Cavern City Air Terminal Airport (CNM) to ELP?
You can quickly make changes to your Cavern City Air Terminal to El Paso Intl. Airport trip through the Expedia Trips portal.
