Denver Airport Walkthrough- Plane to Baggage Claim & Ground Transportation

This video shows our entire journey from deplaning from a domestic Delta flight at the A gates all the way to to baggage claim where we pick up our checked bags. After baggage claim we then go to the ground transportation area where we board a rental car shuttle to go to the rental car company's off-site location to rent a car.
We these videos for those who like to thoroughly research their future travel plans and want to know what to expect.

Hey, I flew here to Denver temporarily on very short notice to crash at a friend's house following crazy events. I have very high anxiety and I combed over this video multiple times before flying out, and I swear I knew the airport better than my Denver local friend by the time I landed! This was so invaluable to me, and I can't thank you enough for it. Hopefully I can just find one even half as good as this for RIC when I fly to Virginia soon haha!

LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is not their luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile... These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon. Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees. Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers. Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end. If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape. You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle. Learn Half Windsor knot tying: It is the 2nd example in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmHcmWiogKdsoqc This knot does not loosen. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie. Example: “Owner 454-333-7878” No personal name necessary. No address necessary on the ribbon. Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color. Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece. Tie your skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case. If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible. Pleasant color combinations: Red, white and blue Chartreuse and purple and orange Orange and light blue Orange and yellow Gray and pink Green and yellow Red and Green Red and Gold Light blue and light green and white The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan Tip #2 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights. Tip #3 Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC Liner of the case WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape... To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape. Tip #4 Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show. Tip #5 ADDING UNIQUENESS 4 ribbons 1 designer ribbon colored taped handle stencil SPRAY PAINT a 2 1/2” stencil letter or number or word to the suit case exterior surface in addition to using all the other ideas here. Stencil spray paint a letter to the TOP ribbon. Use ribbons that are wider or more narrow than 1”. Put a travel sticker on the case. Tip #6 WEIGH YOUR OWN Scales accuracy varies at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE It is less than $15. ..

Hi everyone! Need help from Denver Airport experts. Is there a way to go back to the lounge/resting areas of the airport after picking up my luggage? I need to rest about 5 hours after landing to pick up my bus but I dont want to leave my baggage unattended. Or is there a resting area near the baggage claim area? Can I take the train back to the main area where the resting zones are after picking the luggage up? Thanks in advance

About how long does it take from plane landing until you pick up baggage? My plane lands at 6:35 am and I have to be at union Station in downtown to get on Amtrak by 8:05. I feel like I'm cutting it too close since I still have to get to baggage claim and ride the a train to union

[@bozy106]

The video was pretty much the complete real-time walkthrough so around 18 minutes. That is cutting it real close however. My 3 biggest concerns would be: #1 Delays in the flight; #2 Delays on how long it takes the baggage to be delivered to baggage claim; and #3 How long of a wait it is for the train at the airport station. The one time I took the train from the airport to Union Station I had to wait about 10-15 minutes for the train. Sorry if I just caused you more anxiety about your trip….

[@lisveespinoza9717]

[@bozy106]

You just go upstairs one level from baggage claim to where the different airline check ins are located. If you check out some of my Denver departure videos you’ll see me pass baggage claim on my way up to the level where the check in counters are.

[@rachelcortez5521]

Question... where do I go for a family member to pick me up? I would be flying Southwest.

[@bozy106]

At DEN family members can pick up arriving passengers on level 4, the level below baggage claim. There are short term parking lots at level 4 that charge around $6.00 per hour. A slightly more distant, but free, cellphone parking lot is also available so travelers can call their family upon being ready to pickup. Just be sure to note which door you exit out of (such as door 406 or 410) so you can tell who is picking you up. The door number is printed very large on the glass door so that people picking up passengers can see them from the car.

Yes, an Uber will pick you up in the ground transportation area. Just look for the “Rideshare” sign. The buses on this video are all for car rental companies but there is a train from the airport that will take you to Union Station in downtown Denver. This train route is called the “A-Line” or the “University of Colorado A Line” and costs $10.50 per person.
