The El Paso International Airport is the closest large airport.  There is no bus service to White Sands Missile Range from any of the regional cities.  If you are in the region without your own personal vehicle, you will need to consider renting a car.  It is about an hour's drive from the El Paso Airport to White Sands Missile Range (see directions from El Paso below.)  If you are staying in one of the neighboring cities:  It is about an hour's drive from the airport to Las Cruces via I-10.  It is about an hour's drive from the airport to Alamogordo, N.M., via Highway 54.
