Denver International Airport aka: DEN

It’s okay. The old airport was surrounded by homes and people complained about the jet noise, so in response they built the new airport in the middle of nowhere. Just getting into Denver takes a long bus ride or pricey cab trip. Some day there will be a light rail line, but don’t hold your breath.

Once you get past security you can hop between the terminals, but they are all physically separated from each other and the only way to go between them is by using the underground tram.

This isn’t the best airport for food and your options are pretty limited (hope you like McD’s). Most of the stores are clustered in the middle of the terminal, but you’ll find a couple of shops scattered among the gates, and these often have much shorter lines. Terminal B is the largest of the three and has the most in terms of shops and restaurants.

There’s a bridge that connects Terminal A with the main concourse. There’s a security checkpoint on the bridge, and sometimes the line there is shoter than for the security checkpoint in the concourse.

It can get cold at night, even in the summer.

They have the most annoying airport PA in the world. There are constant warnings about unattended bags and suspicious people. Bring earplugs.

I enjoy this airport very much. The ceiling is cool. They have restaurants. It isn’t too big. Reminds me of my independence. Nice.

weather delays.
seems like every time I fly through Denver I have to hold my breath and pray there will be no delays. The best part about flying through denver to seattle/portland/la from the East coast is that you’re almost there… unless of course you are delayed.

A good airport in its own right, but it is WAY too far from downtown and out in the middle of nowhere. Any airport that requires nearly a $50 cab fare to go downtown is not worth it in my book.

Looks like a giant tent driving in. I experienced no traffic, no long wait. The only thing that sucked was that the walk to the gate was really far.
