    I used the RTD's University of Colorado A Line while on vacation in Denver. It was located just outside of the hotel and offered a convenient self pay system. I bought my ticket just as the train pulled into the station. The train was very clean and had a security officer present. The security officer checked for valid tickets and answered travel questions. I felt very safe and loved the overall convenience. I will definitely use the train during future visits to the area.

    Current bus schedule (as of May 9, 2015) from downtown to the airport. Note that it differs slightly from the website schedule.

    I am from out of town, so my only experience with RTD (Denver's metro-area public transportation system) is when I took the SkyRide from downtown to the airport (Route AF, Eastbound). My experience was fine. The driver was courteous, the seats were clean and comfortable, and the journey was a little less than an hour, which is slightly longer than what it would normally take a shared shuttle ride (e.g., SuperShuttle). On the other hand, I wasn't stuffed into an 8-passenger van with seven other fully grown adults at more than twice the cost, so I was happy to trade the 15 minutes I may have lost for the 60% discount and relative comfort of a half-full tour bus. If you are considering this option to the airport yourself, particularly from the downtown location, just a couple of notes to keep in mind: 1) The website schedule and pickup location were slightly outdated when I viewed them (on May 9, 2015). I've posted photos showing the current schedule and pickup point, but FYI, the current departure times seem to be 1-2 minutes earlier than those listed in the schedule posted online (e.g., my bus left at 12:26pm rather than 12:27pm). It's only a minor difference of course, but the bus left promptly at 12:26, so that one minute could theoretically make a difference to someone. 2) I boarded the bus at its point of origin, which is the Greyhound Bus station at the corner of 19th St. and Curtis St. You have to actually enter the station to find the pickup location (i.e., It's not outside on a street corner like other RTD buses). And FYI, the website currently says the departure point is Gate 4, but it is actually Gate 5, which is on the opposite side. There is a sign posted above the door of Gate 5 that says RTD SkyRide DIA (Denver International Airport) as a point of reference. Just proceed outside through the door to find the bus. Note that if you arrive early, the bus will only open its doors about five minutes before departure. 3) Being an urban bus station, unsurprisingly there were a variety of interesting characters in and around the station. I never felt concerned for my safety or anything, but I am also a sturdy 6'0" male, so females may be a bit more uncomfortable, especially if traveling alone. That being said, I walked from my hotel at 18th and California to the bus station and it was fine, both along the way and while waiting for the bus to depart. It was also the middle of the day, so maybe that makes a difference, but I wouldn't let the surroundings necessarily discourage you from riding, especially if you're headed to the airport during the day. 4) Somewhat inconveniently, the bus takes only cash, you pay on the bus at the time you board, and you cannot get change in return, so bring the exact fare, which is currently $11 (you insert your money into a machine like any other city bus, and it takes both coins and bills). Pleasantly, however, you are able to get a handwritten receipt from the bus driver if you need it for expense reimbursement like I do. Overall, a good experience, and one I would recommend to travelers, especially if you are traveling during the day and looking to save some cash on your trip to/from the airport (it also takes people from DIA into town, but I took SuperShuttle from the airport, so I can't speak to the Westbound trip, although I suspect it would be very similar).

    RTD means Really Terrible Delays. How can any one meet their appointment commitments with delays of indeterminate time?

ATL also has the SkyTrain, which is groundside https://www.yelp.com/biz/skytrain-atlanta with only three stops (Airport, Gateway for the convention center and hotels, and Rental Cars). JFK has an Airtrain between the terminals and the rental cars that connects with the subway network. There are probably others I can't remember. We should review the train at Denver International Airport! Officially titled the Denver International Airport Automated Guideway Transit System, it is a people mover that connects the multiple terminals at DIA. It is located airside (inside the secure area) and uses two 1.25 mile tunnels underneath the aircraft taxiways and passing through the center on the concourse buildings. When the train arrives at a station, the outboard doors open first so that arriving passengers can exit, then the inboard doors open allowing departing passengers to board. There are four stops. Concourses A, B, C and the main Jeppesen terminal where baggage claim and ground transportation are located. It is the only option for accessing Concourses B and C; Concourse A can be walked over the pedestrian bridge. Interestingly, it uses the same trains as they do in the Plane Train at ATL. Plenty of room for standing, seating at both ends, poles and handrails throughout. It is designed for handicap accessibilities. [Review 19015 overall - 91 in Colorado - 2539 of 2022.]

The app didn't make it look like it was. Frontier didn't tell me. They just told me to visit the airport a little earlier. I'm glad I checked with TSA and learned before I inconvenienced myself. Check in at the airport was easy. I was able to board with the first group. I was happy that I didn't have to pay for a seat assignment. Cokes were nearly $5 but free on my return flight on American Airlines. I was bummed there wasn't any movies on board. The flight was effortless and easy from DCA to my layover in Colorado. The next flight to Vegas was great. The flight crew was nice.

Yesterday, April 4, 2026 I originally had a flight to Houston at 11:30AM. Houston was the layover to my final destination of Atlanta. At 10AM I was told that the first flight was delayed an hour which was going to cause me to miss the second flight. Myself and two other people approached the gate to resolve the issue and was told that the only option is a direct flight to Atlanta that doesn't leave until 10PM. I was immediately irritated because I had been there since 8AM and 10PM is a long time to wait. I respectfully asked if they could ask the flight in Houston to just hold off since we would be getting there late by 2 minutes. The very rude woman at the desk replied "if it was more of you but it's just 3 of you." So the three of us don't matter? Obviously what I'm asking can be done, but because it's 3 of us we don't have the option to try to make our flight that was inconvenienced because of your company! Truly disgusting. I was told my other option was to take the flight and "see if they can help you." While I understand that things happen out of employee's control, the attitude and the lack of empathy is what made the situation worse. However, that was not even the worst of it all. I sat in the airport a total of 12 hours just to get banned from boarding my flight. I came with a backpack that I always take with me, that fits under the seat, a personal item. I did not have a purse or anything else. The backpack was all I had, but being at the airport so long I had purchased a charger, water and food so I was carrying that plastic bag with my personal item as we were boarding. I was told to step aside to speak to someone about my bag. Not at the counter, or outside of the boarding area, I was standing at the entrance of the boarding area. After standing there several minutes and no one approached me I thought maybe she wasn't talking to me. After all, I have never had a problem with this bag. I start walking towards the ramp and a lady asked me to come back. I explained to her what I just explained to you and she said that my plastic bag of food counts as my personal item so I have to pay $99 for my backpack. I'm flustered because I fly allllll the time and everytime I'm in the airport I get water and snacks and take them with me. Not one person on 100s of trips have ever approached me about that bag! The lady already told me I had to pay, but continues to make me weigh it. As I'm weighing it, it now doesn't fit because I put the bag of snacks there. After she yelled for the 10th time "it's $99!" I said, fine, here is my card!! After I said that she says, "you're being loud and disrespectful so I'm not letting you on!" I never once raised my voice or was rude. She thought I didn't have any money and when I did she created another problem. I pleaded with her to let me on because I had been at the airport 12 hours and I needed to get home to my children! She wouldn't even look up from her phone. I pulled out my phone to text my babysitter that I might not be coming home and she goes "I was about to let you on but you're secretly recording me!" I picked up my phone IMMEDIATELY to show her my text thread and she continued to tell them to close the door.
