Albuquerque International Sunport is a small, single-terminal airport with just two concourses, making connections quick and stress-free. There's no train or long walk required, and the compact layout means most gate-to-gate transfers take only a few minutes. International service is minimal, so nearly all connecting traffic here is domestic-to-domestic. Concourses A and B are connected by a single central hallway past security, so all transfers are on foot with no shuttle or train needed. There is no re-screening required for standard domestic connections since both concourses sit inside the same secure zone.
