Layout

  • Jeppesen Terminal — main check-in and security.
  • Concourse A — international, Frontier, some United.
  • Concourse B — United mainline.
  • Concourse C — Southwest, Alaska, Spirit, JetBlue.

The underground train connects all three concourses to the terminal.

Getting there

  • A-Line train to Union Station — 37 minutes.
  • Lyft/Uber — 30–45 min from downtown.

Security and lounges

  • Multiple TSA PreCheck checkpoints across the bridge security and concourse-level.
  • United Club locations on B; Centurion in C; Capital One in A.

Weather

  • Strong winter storms can close runways briefly; deicing is well practiced.
  • Spring/summer thunderstorms drift through afternoons; convective NEXRAD overlays in FlightyFlow help.

OTP

DEN is one of the most reliable big US hubs outside of severe weather. The main delay pattern is winter morning operations and convective summer afternoons.
