Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta
Five hundred hot-air balloons lifting off at dawn, every morning for nine days.
On now until October 13
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Albuquerque for October 1 to 13, 2026, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Mass Ascensions are on the weekends. Gates open around 4:30 am; be there for the dawn patrol.
- Book a car early. The park-and-ride is the sane way in on weekend mornings.
- Albuquerque Sunport is 20 minutes from Balloon Fiesta Park. Santa Fe is an hour and has few fares.
