Its layout is straightforward and integrated, featuring clearly defined zones for check-in, security screening (operated by TSA), and departure gates, all conveniently located within the same structure.

Walking times within the terminal are minimal, typically ranging from 5 to 15 minutes to reach most gates, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for passengers.\n\nSecurity procedures at ABQ adhere to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) standards. Passengers can expect thorough screening protocols for both carry-on and checked baggage, along with personal security checks.
