Denver

Just pushed back from DEN. That’s two on time departures for me today. Three pre boarders. No priority circus. Group 2 boarding. And somehow… no carry on chaos. On a 700 series. How is this even possible? Did I enter an alternate timeline?

Quick DEN to DSM hop this morning and honestly I’m reconsidering my loyalty. There was a ground stop because of wind. Wind. As if ATC wouldn’t immediately clear the skies knowing a 1K was onboard. I asked the gate agent about departure time and she didn’t greet me by name, thank...

Quick heads up for anyone tempted to upgrade last second. I was flying Denver to Ontario and saw I could use 20 PlusPoints to instantly move to first. Grabbed 1A, then switched to 3A because I hate bulkheads. I’m 1K so this was right as preboarding started. Suddenly my app...

Saw this and honestly didn’t expect to feel anything… but yeah, this one got me. A 7 year old lost his Pokémon binder at Denver. They couldn’t find it. Instead of just saying “sorry,” 88+ United employees sent in their own cards. Ended up giving him 17,569 cards. That number is...

My wife flies Portland to Denver every couple of months to help care for her elderly mom. She just went to book for February and there were basically no Frontier options at all unless she wanted some insane layover at four times the usual price. She ended up booking Southwest...

Got a 5-hour layover coming up at Denver and my partner’s meeting me before my next flight. We’re planning to hang out before TSA since I don’t want to leave the airport (no winter coat and she’s coming by bus). Anyone know what food options are available before security? Hoping...

Heard this whole meltdown at A75 today. Lady missed her connection and actually got on her knees yelling “OPEN THE PLANE!” and “DO YOU HAVE A GRANDMA???” and calling the agents soulless. She kept demanding a supervisor and pointing at the agent standing right next to her… who...

If you saw someone sprinting from B71 to B21… yeah, that was me. Thought I had a shot since the reader board still said Final Boarding and everything was delayed from the snow. Nope. Rounded the corner just in time to watch them close the door. Saver award definitely didn’t...

Just had a rough one with Frontier. Flew Denver to Orlando with a work buddy and the flight was oversold. He got denied boarding, I didn’t only because I’ve got Elite Gold. Since Frontier doesn’t fly to Orlando later in the day, they basically refunded him and said good luck. No...

We’re flying into Denver next week on United, then connecting to Lufthansa with a 7.5-hour layover. We have USO access but can pay for another lounge if there’s something better. Just trying to figure out if it’s even worth leaving the airport with a six-month-old or if we...

Been flying for over 50 years and never had this one before. Left the gate in Denver about 15 minutes late, then sat on the tarmac another 15. Pilot comes on and says the plane is too heavy to take off. We had to go back so they could remove some fuel. Now we need an extra...

Posting for a friend, she flew DEN to FLL on United 1374, Sept 19. She put her blue soft-side Samsonite in the overhead above 38A. After landing she accidentally grabbed a nearly identical bag, only realized at home it wasn’t hers. Which means someone else walked off with her...
