Airport guide
Denver International (DEN) is the fifth-busiest airport in the US and serves as a hub for United and Frontier. Its distance from downtown (~25 miles) means ground transport adds real cost to your trip — factor in an Uber or the A Line train (~$10.50) when comparing total trip prices.
Family travel tip
DEN has a nursing room and kids' play areas in both concourses. For families flying from Southern California, SNA and LAX both offer nonstops to DEN — check if the slightly longer drive to LAX saves enough to be worth it.
Best time to visit
Ski season (December–March) is peak; summer hiking season (July–August) is nearly as busy. Spring shoulder season offers some of the best fares.
LAX vs SNA to Denver
Searching "LA to Denver" usually means LAX, but Orange County (SNA) is often the better true-cost option if you start south of Los Angeles. Compare both with bags included.
