During our trip to Denver we decided to try taking the RTD instead of renting a car. We navigated…read morethe airport ok, but they could use a bit more signage- we got turned around a bit but ended up finding our way to the station. It didn't take long for the train to arrive once we were at the platform and we found seats easily and it was a smooth ride. We rode back into the station at the end of our trip and we were able to navigate from the station to security pretty easily since we were more familiar with the layout.

NO brainer for commuting from the airport to the city! I use the train all the time to travel. It's…read moreeasy and much less expensive to pay the $10-12 train fare and the $15 Uber or Lyft from Union Station to anywhere in the downtown Denver or closely adjacent areas. A ride straight to/from the airport will cost double and triple (or more) if the app is surging and they jack up the price. The irritation to commute in your own car, and the cost to park isn't worth it, IMO! The airport really isn't in "Denver", it's a way out in some suburb and they redrew the lines so they can call it "Denver". So, the drive to the airport from ACTUAL, real Denver can be a huge pain and just forget about it if it's rush hour. The train won't get caught up by this yucky traffic! The train is clean, comfortable, and feels safe as far as my experiences have gone. There is someone walking through who checks the tickets. I probably have had a couple rides where they didn't check, but not many, and that I recall this hasn't happened anymore recently -- as they do more often check, which is probably best for everyone. If you're new to Denver, spend some time if you can at Denver Union Station if this is your destination/departure stop. iIt's a very cool atmosphere with several places to eat/drink at inside. And there's a huge patio outside if the weather is nice.

This is a review about a trainline that runs from DIA to Union Station in downtown Denver and while…read moreit isn't fancy, it's super convenient. Affordable, too. There are a few stops along the way, but the big benefit is the roughly 30-45 minute trip costs $11 (as of August 2025.) That's a lot quicker and less expensive than a taxi, rideshare or a rental car (and who wants to try and park anyway?) Plus, depending where you're staying and where you are going, you can not only walk around downtown and its nearby neighborhoods, but you can also take the light rail and other mass transportation to other locations. The trains leave about every half hour. Please make sure to purchase a ticket because employees will walk through and ask for it.

This is the only terminal at the Denver International Airport (DEN). You can enter and exit from…read moreeither the East or West side. When arriving at DEN, you will exit the airplane into one of the three Concourses listed as A, B, or C. I arrived on Southwest in Concourse C. I made sure to make use of two of those long, horizontal travelators (moving walkways). Then took the escalators down twice to get to the train. Took the train to the Terminal and then took the escalators up twice to get me to the Baggage Claim area. On the plane we were told our luggage would be at Carousel 9, but without notice, they switched it to Carousel 7. A nice man told me there was a switch and my bag was one of four left on the stopped carousel. After retrieving my bags, I had to take the escalators down to get to the Arrivals pick-up area. It is quite confusing! It's difficult to decide whether or not I am a fan of those white pointy canopies or not. From the inside, I couldn't understand the aesthetics. Reminds me of the circus' big top, but with many mini-tops! Those canvas tops represent two things: the snow-capped mountains and the Native American tepees. Elrey Borge Jeppesen was an aviator who set standards for safety in the early days. There's an exhibit located on level 6 at the north end of the terminal. I missed finding it! In one of my TSA pictures, to the left of the American Flag, there's a statue, I think that is where I should have gone. Didn't realize it until I got home and looked closely at my pictures. Jeppesen moved from Salt Lake City to Denver in 1941. He is an important figure in the Colorado aviation history. According to the internet, there are 6 levels in this terminal. As I wandered, it only felt like 3 levels. I was in shock with how crowded TSA was at 9AM on the floor below where I entered after being dropped off. You can get a good view of both sides, North & South. Thanks to my son, he told me I could go to "The Bridge". I stayed on the entrance level and walked over to the bridge and eased my way through the very short TSA Checkpoint lines. Yay!! In going this way, I was already at Concourse A. I only needed to take the Train past Concourse B to Concourse C where my gate was. If you read this and it is helpful for you when you leave Denver, you're welcome! I'm one of those odd people who wants to explore the airport rather than solely use it for travel. I arrived at the airport early for my flight home so I could see the shops! The plane was beginning the boarding process when I arrived at Concourse C! I just about took too long meandering!

Book Stores function best now in a captive environment. What environment is more captive than an Airport? If you are not up on downloading a book to your Kindle App, you need this place. If you are not familiar with Tattered Cover, the chain is local to Denver and is an institution. It has a proud history and some really great locations. If you have not made a trip to the LoDo location do yourself a favor and make sure to check it out. When I arrived back in the mid-2000's, Tattered Cover was hot. It has since expanded and I was pleasantly surprised to see it at Denver International Airport - and in all three Terminals. This Tattered Cover is in Terminal A right in the main area. While it is nothing like the stand-alone stores, they still have a few familiar elements like the Tattered Cover Recommends section. The store has a fairly small footprint but there is a wide-selection of airport reads. Overall, solidly above average in comparison to the typical airport bookstore. Plus, it gets point to the nostalgia-factor since I don't get to hang out at their actual stores these days.
