About
Arriving at Denver International Airport
Denver International is a United Airlines hub and the fifth-busiest airport in the US. The iconic white tent roof is visible from miles away, but the airport's distance from downtown means timing your pickup matters.
All flights use the single Jeppesen Terminal, but gates are spread across three concourses (A, B, C) connected by an underground train. Passengers arriving at distant Concourse C gates need extra time to reach the main terminal.
The 25-mile drive from downtown Denver takes 35-45 minutes in normal traffic but can stretch past an hour during afternoon rush on I-70 or Pena Boulevard.
Pickup tip
DEN is 25 miles from downtown. Use the Pena Boulevard cell phone lot and wait for a landing text before heading to arrivals.
