    This is awesome advice. We have made ALLLL these mistakes before - not leaving enough time, picking up on the wrong level, going to the wrong security gate. 🤦🏻‍♀️ You’re saving people a lot of time, Dave! Great video 👍🏼👍🏼

    Hello Dave. As a DIA travel veteran, I will tell you that if you're trying to avoid the slow, Neolithically incompetent and slow TSA security lines, do what I do and take the skybridge to A concourse and go through security there. It's a HELL of a lot faster.
    Departures pick up works good for me as well. It's much easier.

      Appreciate the tip! That departure pickup is definitely a DIA life hack 😀

    Security is currently getting rebuilt and moved to level 6 on the north end of the terminal. West security opened earlier this year and east security is currently being built. Once complete all security will be on level 6 with level 5 getting reworked now that security is no longer in the fish bowl that is level 5.

    I appreciate the info. Sometimes when I pick people up, I have to go around again because they are upstairs instead of down on 4. This is better now that I know the difference. Thank you.

    Hey just a few things to add! One when getting picked up the easiest way to orient yourself is that every door has a number 400-4… (I don’t remember the largest) but the first number represents the floor and the second is the door number. (Even I believe is for east side and odd for west although it’s been a few months so not too sure). Also important is that DIA is an important hub specifically for United and Southwest so United is generally in the B terminal and southwest is typically in C. BUT NOT ALWAYS TURE so don’t get confused if your ticket doesn’t follow that. A is mixed use for smaller airlines along with parts of B and C. Also you are missing in the B terminal there is a voodoo doughnuts and a snooze for brunch people.

    DIA added a new security section called DEN Reserve Where its limited but TSA goes fast and you can Reserve a spot and avoid the big lines

    Are car rental companies located off site from the airport? Do you know if shuttles are available? Thanks!

    • @davechung
      @davechung  Před rokem +2

      Great question! Definitely should’ve included this in the video! 🤦‍♂️ they’re a quick/free shuttle ride away, and the rental cars are right next to the Pikes Peak lot.

    • @davechung
      @davechung  Před 7 měsíci +4

      You should be good! I’d recommend going to Terminal A and going to the second floor outside of the lounges. There are much more comfortable spots up there!

      It’s not as nice as some updated international areas of bigger U.S. airports, but I’ve personally never had issues with it, even with a toddler.

    the terminal is not the same as a concourse.. get there 2 hours early

    The RTD A line isn’t light rail. It’s commuter rail.

    I avoid DIA like the plague if at all possible. Did they ever finish the terminal construction (just got to that part of the video :D)? Over a year between flights and the Delta terminal looked like the same mess both times. Everything was so dirty, no power at the seats and massive clogs of people going to and from the trams. The general flow for the movement of people felt like an afterthought, especially going to and from the trams downstairs. Vehicle traffic outside going to and from the rental car bus areas seemed just as much of an afterthought.
    OH - and skip the Denver ChopHouse. Terrible food, high prices and it's absolutely filthy.

      Totally right 😀 the video is over a year old, so things got shuffled!

  • @Thelivingwordthesword

    One bowl containing the terrible punishment will poured into the Denver airport the contents of the bowl will completely fill take over the entire complex turning this place into a mirror of what is waiting in the graves of the antagonizers for contents of the bowl will list ten thousand years filling up all those places that they prepared

  • @Thelivingwordthesword

    Then in every other place these people have prepared to escape all over Earth I will send my Dog to pour out the bowl every time their rabbit holes are struck great shakings tremors and signs will take place
