When I was there I got first class to Dallas out of Roswell. It’s for what is it worth.
Also don’t get the steak on the “armadillo steak night” for dinner. Beyond that the food is just like being at a college cafeteria again. I ate like a king.
If you must take the bus from Abq, they make a few stops along the way, one of which is a decent truck stop, so it’s not bad. On the last day, If you finish early enough you can maybe catch a flight out of Roswell. I flew into Abq and flew out of Roswell. It can be done.
There’s also a bar where you hold up for training. Treat the 100 year old lady bartender good, she’s actually got a good sense of humor.
