  • Denver Airport is located about 30mi/50km east of downtown. Getting to and from downtown/the airport you can use the RTD Skyride service. The pickup/drop off locations at DIA have changed, as of Sept 7, 2003. They drop off between doors 507 and 511 on the east side of the terminal. The pick up spot is now located thru door 507 on island 5.

    For schedules go to www.rtd-denver.com . The trips to/from downtown cost $8. These buses serve other parts of the metro area as well. If your taking an RTD (Skyride) bus to the airport you pay the driver (cash only - have exact change).

    Greyhound also has 3-4 trips a day to the airport from downtown. Buy tickets for these buses at the station or online at: www.greyhound.com
    RTD and Greyhound can accomodate luggage. RTD has bike racks on the front of their buses. They can hold 2 bikes. They can also accomodate large luggage under the bus

    There are several taxi companies: Yellow Cab, phone 303-777-7777. Metro cab 303-333-3333.

    E-tickets:
    I was told (by ppl onine) that I could bring my e-ticket printout right to the gate and get my ticket. You can't do that. You have to either go to the ticket counter or go to those machines where you run your credit card thru and it issues the ticket. (I didn't see any of these. Where are they?)
    When you get your ticket at the gate you only get the ticket for the flight that day. If you have a return ticket you have to go to the ticket counter on the day of that flight to get that ticket.
    My opinion: Thats a pain in the a**, especially during holidays when the lines are miles long. There's no convenience in those tickets.

    Denver International Airport was a famous flawed idea when it opened up. The automated baggage system failed and those that had to take flights would drive the extra hour and a half to Colorado Springs to avoid the troubles of what we call DIA. Denver is a major hub for United Airlines and has a few direct international flights including to London, Mexico City, Toronto, and Frankfurt.

    One of the biggest troubles with DIA is that it was built far from the city center in 1995. It is the 5th busiest airport in the US and the 10th busiest in the World. Why did they build the airport almost 30 miles from the CBD? Denver International Airport sits on a piece of property that is 53 square miles large providing for plenty of room to build larger or more runways, more cargo areas and also to stay away from the rapidly encroaching suburban developments.

    They may have dropped the ball when they opened, but I have to wonder what some of those Eastern city airports will do when they have to extend their runways for the new airbus. I never worry about this with DIA.

    A taxi ride from DIA to the CBD is a flat 55 dollar rate. You may as well take a limo or town car as these also charge 55 dollars to the Downtown.

    The security check area is very spaciuos, and almost always moves easily.

    Rumors also abound that beneath DIA is a series of secret tunnels that is known only to the government. Denver is often known as the "backup" Washington DC so I would not be surprised if it was true.

  • Denver International Airport is the tenth biggest airport in the world - and the best I've ever been to. It's clean, new (built in the mid 90s) and with relatively few delays. D.I.A. is the main hub for United Airlines. The airport is used by a lot of skiers and snowboarders and has a special luggage claim for skis and snowboards.

    The Denver airport is great!
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Denver airport is great! I believe they won an award for its design.
    If you want to go to Pikes Peak, you can reach the summit by cog railway, car, or by foot.

    The Pikes Peak Cog Railroad was built in 1891 and is still the second highest highway in the world.

    Depending on where you're...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Depending on where you're coming from, there may be a perfect way to suit your travelling needs.

    The trains dock in the heart of downtown at Union Station, which can be very convenient.

    If travelling by air, keep in mind that DIA is a ways out from town. The RTD bus group offers transportation to downtown Denver for approx. $6-8. Otherwise, feel free to rent a car from DIA, and take a long, scenic drive into Denver.

    If you're on a road trip, it is probably best to avoid the south end of I-25 at this moment, due to an expansion project. I-70 is bumpy, but capable. Less traveled roads include US 6, US 36, and I-76
    If staying exclusively in downtown, utilize the RTD bus system. It costs considerably less than the all day parking lots.

    If staying closer to the suburbs, perhaps you should rent a car. The bus system only really works if you are close to downtown. Hopefully, that will change someday.

    Denver is a basic grid city, and therefore easy to get around. If you like to bicycle, there are plenty of bike paths for your use. You may also feel free to walk around, if in the downtown area. Suburbs are not as pedestrian friendly.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Best way to get to Denver is by air, even though Denver Airport is known to loose people's luggage.
    Best way to get around in Denver and areas around it is by car. Public transportation is not very good in Denver.

    Gateway to the Rockies
  • Tip Rating:
  • The biggest air hub within a 600-mile radius, Denver International Airport is spacious and efficient. Viewed from the outside, the Jeppesen Terminal building at Denver International Airport is reminiscent of a circus tent or a field of whipped marshmallows, but the architects insist that the structure was inspired by the snowcapped peaks of the Rocky Mountains.

  • Fly in and rent a car. The city is quite spread out, and I'm not sure how their transit system is.

    Denver International Airport...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Denver International Airport in my opinion, is one of the worst I have been to. It's always jam packed and you have to drive to far from the downtown area. It's ridiculous and shouldn't be that way.
    One important tip is that the mountains are to the west of Denver. Wait...yeah, the west. Use that and a map to help yourself. The city has shuttles to help in transportation throughout Denver.

    Well being from N.H., I flew into Denver. The airport is massive. Easy to get lost in, but very lovely too.
