Pilots flying into Denver International Airport on Monday couldn’t communicate with air traffic controllers for about six minutes after multiple radio transmitters failed, according to reporting fr…
Shutting down DIA honestly sounds like a plus to me, genuinely my least favorite airport fuck that place.
It’s a nightmare to navigate, finding your gate takes forever and finding the exit is impossible.
It’s obvious the place was built pre-TSA because TSA is set up in a big like, lobby area that was very obviously intended to be an open space with no barricades. It’s been over 20 years and it still looks like they just temporarily set up in there for an event.
Driving into it sucks. Driving out of it sucks. The signage is terrible and the roads are confusing.
It’s surprisingly far from Denver, it takes like 45 minutes to drive to the city from there, plus people frequently fly there to go to any other city on the east side of Colorado because the flights are way cheaper than to COS which is the only other major airport, but DIA is on the north east side of Denver making it super annoying to go anywhere else. If you look at a map it’s almost like the city of Denver is holding the airport away from the other cities on I-25 and going “Nuh-uh it’s mine you can’t have it”
The stupid giant blue horse statue with glowing red eyes as you drive in
(TSA falling apart is very bad, I just wanted to rant about the Denver airport)

Bluecifer is the only redeemable part of the airport lol if I’m going to have to sit through traffic hell by the airport I might as well have a demon horse to look at
Why would you drive into or out of DIA? The train to Union Station is so much better on all fronts and only takes like 30 minutes, costs 10 bucks, and drops you off directly in the TSA line. The old security line is pretty terrible, but it moves quickly and the new line upstairs is great. I can excuse the 300 or so gates because of the riff on the trains and the windmills.

I actually love the Denver airport but only for the artistic fans that spin when the trams are running past them.
That said, I do have some nostalgia for the pre-TSA days and it was one of the more comfortable airports because of the lobby space.
I do love the fans that spin from the tram those are very fun

Because I’ve usually needed to get to Colorado Springs (
) not Denver but DIA is the airport that airlines actually go to.
