I totally dig the State of Colorado.<\/p>\n
It is worthy.<\/p>\n
Likewise, I absolutely love the City of Denver.<\/p>\n
Very Book.<\/p>\n
However, when it comes to the Denver International Airport (DEN) \u2026<\/p>\n
I am so not a fan.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the people there that have caused my disdain,<\/p>\n
They are always pleasant as one could be in such an environment.<\/p>\n
Likewise, it\u2019s not the John Holmes, phreakishly long lines at the security checkpoint.<\/p>\n
Nope.<\/p>\n
Annoying, yes, but they move faster than one would expect.<\/p>\n
(Tip – if you are flying Frontier out of A Terminal, take the Bridge to A, the wait for security there is not bad at all.)<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not even the irksome flight schedules one has to deal with when flying home on a west to east trajectory which require you to be at DEN for an early flight shortly after the bars close the previous day,<\/p>\n
Or for the late flight,<\/p>\n
A few minutes before midnight the next day.<\/p>\n
Heck, one would think I would love DEN because of the whole alien conspiracy story<\/a> thing it has going,<\/p>\n Not to mention the civic pride I have because it was my hometown peeps that were brought in to solve their original baggage delivery system dork-up when the airport was first built.<\/p>\n Yay Hometown.<\/p>\n I do concede,<\/p>\n A little bit of my issue with DEN is because I think associating it with Denver is a bit misleading considering it was built so far from Denver that it is actually in Utah.<\/p>\n Seriously. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Though I do suspect the real source for the sore spot I have for DEN is because of the fake Rocky Mountain snow tops positioned above the terminal,<\/p>\n And parking lots,<\/p>\n And exit gates,<\/p>\n Right behind Blucifer<\/a>.<\/p>\n For some reason,<\/p>\n Whenever I see them \u2026<\/p>\n I get annoyed.<\/p>\n It might be because when I do see them \u2026<\/p>\n The first thing I think of is \u2026<\/p>\n Circus tent.<\/p>\n Which does not inspire aviation confidence in one,<\/p>\n At least not in this one.<\/p>\n Weird,<\/p>\n I know.<\/p>\n *shrug*<\/p>\n However,<\/p>\n I mention this because \u2026<\/p>\n The gods of Irony still do like to amuse themselves with the comings and goings in my life,<\/p>\n As I have spent more time in DEN waiting for flights,<\/p>\n Than\u00a0 I have in every other airport of the world \u2026<\/p>\n Combined.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n And soon,<\/p>\n I will once again be spending a bunch of time in DEN,<\/p>\n Waiting for the late flight which leaves a few minutes before midnight the next day,<\/p>\n Because,<\/p>\n My friend TroopLeader and I are meeting up at DEN,<\/p>\n Tripping to Estes Park, Colorado,<\/p>\n
