Recommendation
For a direct and faster option, I highly recommend taking a flight with Southwest Airlines as they provide direct flights from El Paso International Airport (approximately 45 minutes drive from Las Cruces) to major California airports with reasonable pricing and good service. If you're up for an adventure and enjoy road trips, consider the scenic drive along I-10 W and I-5 N, making stops at interesting locales to break up the journey.
