Denver Airport

Not Verified | Worst airport ever. Security lines hours long while two other security areas were closed. Nobody that works there cares. Tons of TSA idiots standing around trying to act tough but I’m no way helping. It’s almost if they try to make people miss their flights at this airport. Try opening up all the security areas instead of having the lines wrap through baggage claim. Whoever runs this airport needs to figure it out cause it’s the worst run airport by far.

Not Verified | I have travelled all around the world and through countless international airports, and Denver is truly the worst. I've had the misfortune to have Denver as my home airport for several years now, and it is grossly inefficient, poorly designed, ugly, and difficult to get around. The employees at this airport act as if they either do not care about their jobs AT ALL or yell at travelers as if to make full use of the small amount of power they have. Security lines here are also beyond ridiculous, with lines frequently running out of the main security hall and down the hallway. It is the only airport that I have ever had to wait over an hour for security at, and this has happened five or more times. I am even a Clear member, and have had to wait over half an hour in that line multiple times as well. The airport has also been undergoing seemingly endless renovations for years now and each time I return it looks even further from being finished. The walking time to gates is absurdly long, with some gates taking as much as 20 minutes to reach from the main terminal areas. The decent wifi is really the only positive thing I have to say about this place. Again, I travel internationally throughout the year and have seen many airports, none of which are as inefficient and unhelpful as Denver. I am not typically one to write reviews, but I am fed up with this airport and feel a need to warn others of the frustration and waiting that they will inevitably encounter at DEN.

✅ Trip Verified | I arrived at the airport and they were supposed to be two ladies needing wheelchair assistant. One person showed up. When we finally got to where we're supposed to be at, we were in the wrong place. When we finally found out where we're supposed to go, they started working with us. When the guy noticed where I have to go. He was not happy, that he had to basically go across the whole entire terminal. He was very slow, he was complaining but he got me where I needed to go so I can fly out. That was a solo part. I flew back two days later with my husband. And we were both handicap assistant that we needed. My husband is low vision and he has to walk with a cane, I am also hearing impaired so a lot of noise can get very confusing to me. When we arrived the man at the counter helped us told us where we need to go. Another man showed up with my name on a piece of paper and a wheelchair. My husband told me to get in the wheelchair. He'll just travel behind him. Once that man found out where we had to go all the way across the terminal again, he was complaining. To the point where he kept saying I don't work and that area I only work in terminal areas. Can you walk? He kept getting a little louder and ruder. I was trying to figure out what he was saying after a while him complaining cuz he kept getting closer to my head what he was saying and I finally said you know what I'll get up. I'll walk, and when I got up I quickly got dizzy and realized. Nope, I got to sit. And he still kept complaining that this is not his type of job. Once I asked my husband. Can you please explain to him what's going on? I'm having a hard time understanding him, that's when he shut up. I live here in Colorado. I am ashamed that this is our airport. Airport. Disturbing, disgusting and horrible. I would never recommend anybody to fly into DIA. You need to train your employees to shut up. Be respectful and if they don't like their job quit their job and go to another one. I feel sorry for anybody who's got to travel there and have to do a handicap assistant cuz I would never recommend it. If the Loveland/ fort Collin airport can fly people out, I will be using them more often. They're more respectful.

Not Verified | This is the single WORST airport I’ve EVER been to! For being the 3rd largest airport in the world having the same security for ALL airlines is absolutely ridiculous! Most large airport have security at the terminal that you’re flying out of. The construction has been going on for years and they’re not even fixing that part! They’re just moving security up a level - it’s dirty, I mean filthy, bathrooms are atrocious! Security lines are unacceptable, I’m talking winding all the way outside! The train is the ONLY way to get to the terminals. The little train they fills up instantly and you have to wait train after train until you can get on! Then when the train breaks down, you miss your flight. That’s it. How can you not have another or a viable option to get passengers to their flights? Incompetence at its worst. Avoid Denver at all costs.

Not Verified | I cannot find the words to express how your airport is the worst airport by far that I have travelled in over 50 years of travel throughout the world, including the 3rd world. Much of it is because the TSA are unable to figure out the resources needed to allow passengers to get through without having to stand in line for 2 hours or more. All of the airport management and staff should be utterly ashamed of yourselves. Also, who designed your airport, an insane madman? A clown chimpanzee could do better. Up an escalator only to go down another escalator and then walk all the way around the airport back almost to where we entered to find where the security line starts. Couldn’t someone have directed us to the beginning of the security line? I had to leave litter because no one thought to leave trash bins anywhere or provide cups of water to people passing out in line. How many people have stood in line only to miss their flight. How many people has all this saved over 20 years? You wouldn’t even let me have a drink of water after getting though security parched. You took it off me before I could have a drink. How in God’s name does that help? Oh and can’t you figure out a way to test an old man’s belt without having to take it off and have his trousers fall down in front of everyone. Where is your sense dummies? I am 62 and I can see no alternative but to say I am disabled in order to get assistance and avoid standing in a TSA line that winds all the way around your horrible airport. Absolutely terrible, I can barely walk now I am home. Zero IQ Clowns.

Not Verified | Very nostalgic airport to me. Easy to get to baggage and train. On the way home on a Sunday, long security line but it moved fast. I dropped my hat and people passed it back to me! Terminal felt congested. Better food on concourses. Love the red eyed blue horse statue.

Not Verified | Most inefficient airport in the country. I fly out of here all the time, and it gets worse everyone I come. Poorly staffed, long security lines, not enough parking, no good, healthy food options in the terminal. Feeling increasingly like a third-world airport descending into chaos.

✅ Trip Verified | This is the most incompetent airport I've ever been to. If you can avoid departing from Denver, or scheduling a connecting flight through Denver, do it at all costs! Our gates were changed 10+ times and delayed by several hours. I'm still here and worry I'll never escape. Psychically hostile walkways create a sense of unendingly escalating chaos. You are an ant when you are in Denver and the petulant automated text alert systems that notify you of flight rescheduling are your queen. There are no human beings here. Anyone you complain to will be powerless to help or even alter the course of your journey and your inevitable negative emotional reactions to your circumstances will be carefully channelled into the pedestrian collider/retail corridor. We hate you, human. Welcome to Denver International Airport.

Not Verified | Worst airport ever and I have traveled extensively worldwide. At the drop off there were no signs to check-in. For all of terminal A there were only two fast food restaurants and little or no place to sit. Horrible. One star.

Not Verified | This airport is awful, just like the city it serves. No pride always broken. Parking is a nightmare. Passenger transportation is horrible. This airport is why people fly private jets. The management here has turned a first class facility into a turd. They must never fly out of here.
