Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from John Wayne Airport to SAF last minute?
Booking your flight from SNA to Santa Fe Regional Airport at the last minute could save you dollars if you strike it lucky and find a good deal. However, fares don’t typically get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you procrastinate, flights could also be booked out or the best seats taken (we hope you like the middle seat!). If you’d rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of when you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for Santa Fe from Santa Ana?
From Santa Ana, you can get to Santa Fe via Santa Fe Municipal Airport (SAF), Albuquerque Intl. Sunport Airport (ABQ) and Los Alamos County Airport (LAM). Do some research into which airport is right for you before making your decision. If you decide on Santa Fe Municipal Airport (SAF), it’s approximately 9 mi southwest of the city center. Use the dollars you save when booking your seat with Expedia to enjoy the city’s awesome attractions, such as Santa Fe Opera and Museum of International Folk Art.
Can I change the date of my flight from John Wayne Airport to SAF?
You can make changes to your SNA to SAF trip via the Expedia Trips portal. Before you amend times or dates, review the conditions in your itinerary to see what the airline will let you do and what charges may apply. Some airlines charge a change fee per person, on top of any difference in ticket prices. However, if you booked in the last 24 hours, you may be able to cancel for free and book new flights. You can also find your way to our Customer Service portal for further details and to connect with our Virtual Agent.
