We were in El Paso by 0900, bus stop once to another bus terminal,then was taken directly to El Paso Airport.I flew out on Thanksgiving day and not many people crossed. Omnibus/ Transborde services very smooth and cheap and very Safe. I so recommend this bus.
The process was smooth, and had idea since read many reviews.
