    Love this airport. Free-wifi. Easy access between gates & transfers. Plenty of comfortable seats & choices of places to eat. Public transport to downtown Denver Union Station is an easy commute.

    The Demon Horse, masonic symbols, and creepy murals - conspiracy theorists say these point to a large, underground bunker built beneath DIA to protect the world's elite when the world ends. Yep. Read more

    Surprise: Airline ticketing check-in is on level 6. However the rental car bus drops you off on ground floor (which is level 5!) So just go up the escalator or elevator to level 6 to check in!

    Want really tasty, farm-to-table food that's also quick? Go to concourse C and eat at Root Down. You won't be disappointed. Their breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails are amazing.

    Concourse C has these pristine vaguely Japanese gardens that seem cruise shippishly manicured by underpaid men. Yet there is no entrance onto them whatsoever. Add it to the list of DEN conspiracies.

    First airport to offer this: Make free 10-minute international phone calls to most countries or unlimited USA calls from any of the "pay" phones at DIA! So convenient for international travelers!

    ROOT DOWN in Terminal C is one of the best airport cocktail bars/restaurants in the country. Very well worth visiting from Terminals A or B to experience...

    If you Uber here, & already checked in, have them drop off United West side, 1st door (no matter what airline you need). You can take the escalator directly to TSA or Normal Security. Less walking!

    DIA can be a bit of a monster to tackle the first time traveling through it as it is quite large. It has an interesting history and is always a nice experience even for those who fear planes, like me.

    Go to Que Bueno, near Gate B52, and order the chile relleno. Have then add some barbacoa and guacamole to the top. This is some of the best airport food in America.

    The best US airport according to the WSJ. 2nd biggest in the World. Architectural masterpiece. Right now undergoing big changes for the passengers’ best experience.

    Root Down in the C Concourse is the best airport restaurant ever! The food is amazing and worth the detour from the other concourses. If you go for breakfast get the burrito

    All train tunnels toward Concourse C are lined with pinwheels. Tunnels toward the Terminal are lined with hatchets. WITH HATCHETS. Sit in the very back or front of any train to get the best view.

    If you will be here for awhile, try some of the local cuisine located in each terminal. My favorites are Snarfs for a sandwich (A gates) or Root Down (C gates) for a burger!

    Hunkering for your starbucks craving? There's only two in the entire airport; both in concourse B. One is by B90 at the very end and the other just before the stairs to the express jets.

    Each concourse has a huge sculptural centerpiece. Terminal A: massive train tracks. B: big metal arch. C: beautiful manicured vaguely Japanese gardens that you can't walk in and Bill Daniels’s jet.

    They tried for whimsical character and instead they got demon horses, nazis wearing gas masks, giant KKK looking things and murals of dead children. Nice, Denver. Real nice.

    Concourse C breakfast hack: Coming off the escalators make a quick left and hit up La Casita for a small side of their green chile. Pour over fries at McD's or breakfast bowl from Villa Pizza.

    Welcome to nation's third busiest airport; seventh busiest in world. When riding the train to terminal, expect to hear a message from Mayor Michael Hancock. I've talked to him three times this week.

    Skip the main security in the center of the terminal and walk the bridge to Concourse A, it's always half the length/time. If you're flying out of B or C, you can easily grab the train from here

    Google "Denver airport conspiracy theory" and be engrossed while you wait for your flight. Remember, the barbed wire is positioned to keep you IN! Don't miss the freaky murals.

    On your way out if you have some extra time, go to Gate C and eat at Root Down. Awesome food, cool decor, great craft beer selection, and they have outlets EVERYWHERE!

    TSA really has their act together overall here - this is my home airport and the flow is always better than an average airport of equivalent size. They are especially good today as there is no at all.

    There are 3 security line options regardless of airline: north, south & the bridge to concourse A (north end). Each has direct access to the train which will quickly take you to any of the concourses.

    Udi's just opened in Terminal B near B25(ish). Local company, great healthy food including gluten-free, salads you want to eat, even a quinoa option. Plus the best bread from a chain in Denver. :)

    This helps guys not at all, but the women's room on the baggage-claim/security level -- East Side-- is pretty amazing. Glass tiles, huge private stalls... Makes me giggle nearly every time I visit.

    Cool airport with so much art and little widgets stuck here and there. There is construction so be prepared on pickup and dropoff. Quite easy to get in and out. Baggage usually pretty quick.

    Checked baggage can have a pretty rough ride. Stuff folded socks in things like shoes and caps to protect their form.

    This is obviously an impressive facility but really it's design's priority was to move large amounts of people. I see very little consideration of the individual traveler's experience.

    A line train to Union Station is wonderful. Good food choices although Chick Fil A is always packed! Surprising they don’t have stairs at most of the places, just escalators. Clear+pre✔️ for the win.

    Concourse A is the best to fly out of because Security is fastest! Blue Sky Bar is a good place by gate A35 to get a refreshing drink and watch football while waiting.

    If you are looking for a quiet place with good wifi signal, be sure to seek out the business cubicle's. Also a great place to people watch from above. Spent many hours on netflix up there.

    It’s huge but it’s a good airport. Good places to eat and lots of electric bands to facilitate walking long distances. It also has a good train system which is great for trips that require stops

    If you have enough time, check out the New Belgium Hub for decent food and good beer. It is a hike at the end of concourse B, but worth it.

    I had on a sweater with a metallic thread throughout it & found out that was enough to set off the machine at screening. The agent I had was very professional, kind & offered privacy if I wished.

    If you need a trusty, efficient, and budget friendly ride to parts outside of Denver...like Keystone or Vail, check out Colorado Mountain Express. Excellent service and free WIFI on their vehicles.
