Train from Denver International Airport to Downtown Denver Union Station RTD A Line Transit

RTD A Train Denver Airport to Downtown Denver Union Station
Ever had a long layover in Denver and wanted to get out of the airport and explore? Anyone who knows Denver knows that the airport is far from downtown - not the old Stapleton Airport anymore.
Opening in April 2016, Denver's RTD "A" Line inaugurated rail service between downtown Denver (Union Station) and Denver International Airport known by locals as DIA. There are 6 stops between DIA and downtown.
A "DAY PASS" is good all day on all lines. Discounted tickets are also available. Click the link below for schedule and fare information:

Hey I’m wanting to visit there in February so my kids & I can do some snow activities. I’m staying downtown on 15th st, does the train go to any of the mountains where we could do like snow tubing. Or anywhere close where Uber would be cheaper. Thanks I’m advanced 😊

My son and I are on our way to Salt Lake City, UT to help Grandma and Grandpa. We have a layover in Denver from 5pm to 10am. This warrants a hotel and a quick, let's see what we can in Denver while we are here! This video is so helpful! Was thinking about booking the Westin and just riding the train to union station and back for a little, cheap and low maintenance sight seeing.

[@GregSmith803]

There's a great hotel called the Crawford at Union Station downtown Denver just steps from the train. The area is chock full of restaurants and Coors Field is blocks away. Thank you for your kind note. Wishing yall a marvelous experience in the mile high city 🤙😎✈️

I would recommend this it is expensive but it pays off

Heading to Denver in November. Although I'm renting a car, still going to use the system to move around Denver. Thanks for the video.

[@Scott.Lemon.605]

This was good advice too late. 😂 A couple years ago, I had a six hour layover at DIA on my trip home from Florida and spent the entire thing in the Terminal. I'll absolutely remember this if I'm stuck in that kind of situation again!

One thing I love about Chicago, train from downtown to the airport, or airport to downtown cost $2.50.

[@GregSmith803]

The Blue Line is indeed convenient even if it has more stops than the Denver RTD. We need more airports in the US that have rail service to downtown. 😎✈️🚂🚃🚃🚃

Just the video I was looking for. Thank so much! I have a 15 hr layover next week and I'm so anxious. Is it just as easy to get a ticket and ride the train back to the airport? Plus what's a good time to be heading back to the airport? Like 5 hours before my flight time?

[@GregSmith803]

International or domestic flight? Do you have TSA PreChek or Clear - get you thru security faster… Domestic - leave 3 hours prior to departure..

[@BrentNye]

Great video, GregSmith. Thanks! How long would you say the walk is between Concourse A and Airport Station, where you caught the train?

[@GregSmith803]

I have not done the walk from A to the Airport Station. As for taking the airport tram from A, I’d say it’s about 5 minutes after you get off the tram at the main terminal to the airport station

[@slowdownmoveoversharethero9701]

just an FYI you should never ever leave the airport or go outside security checkpoint on a layover. Just because there a train to take you from the airport to the city if the train brakes down or has mecanical issue your basically in trouble

[@GregSmith803]

That's why you need ample amount of time... Atleast 5 hours minimum

[@slowdownmoveoversharethero9701]

GregSmith I use to travel in and out of Denver until 2008 when you had a layover no matter if it’s 3 or 7 hour layover just stay put walk around but stay inside security and keep track of time

[@nathanieltravis9098]

Rtd repairs the trains from tob to bottom every day and they will do a thing called a running brake test and positive train control will stop it if the brakes don't work or if anything doesn't and they use dynamic braking not air brakes like in freight trains

[@nathanieltravis9098]

@Doug Sawyer my dad operates the a line and they only have ptc problems and crossing and sometimes the operators go through the phase break wrong and that cuts all the power
