The Denver airport has many shuttles and is well organized to leave the airport via Uber or bus or train. Just follow the instructions and mind the construction. They even have dedicated baggage pick up for snowboards and skis.

Denver International is a really nice airport, but it should be for a hub! A lot of stuff is actually open until 10:30 or 11pm, so that’s nice. Pretty good place to do an overnight layover too…just make sure to get some snacks in case you can’t sleep.

A tip I have is if you’re in a 4/5 boarding class you might want to check your bag ! There’s not enough room for everyone’s carryon above if it’s a full flight.

Smooth flight. Left on time, and got in 15 minutes early. Onboard video was great

It was beautiful easy and smooth experience. Thank you. Will definitely get Delta for my next travel.

Flight was canceled, and no effort was made to help with rebooking, no hotel vouchers, no car transportation and minimal food voucher and most places for food were closed by the time the voucher was given. Waited for 3 hours for bags. Simply the worst travel experience I have ever had

My flight was 6 pm 6/6. Every hour they delayed it again - air condition issues then no pilot then the crew had worked too many hours and cancelled the flight at 11 pm. Sent customers to NJ a 45 minutes uber ride to a hotel. Had to be back by 5 am for a 7 am flight and again no pilot etc with another three hours of delays.

Delta flight was on time, seats were comfortable, and crew was nice.

Airline lost my luggage and set me back a day worth of travel due to having to stay in Denver to wait on my luggage

I'm a larger, athletic guy (6'2", 260lbs powerlifter) and I found the seats incredibly uncomfortable with minimal leg room, especially in a window seat. Now, I full understand that being smaller may change my view but even if I was 80lbs less, my legs would be the same size and I was sandwiched between my seat and the seat in front of me.

The helpful attitude of the staff, and being a wheelchair passenger everyone was helpful and understanding. The trip was made comfortable by the upgraded seat which was given without my request, that was a great surprise. Thank you Delta.

The flight attendants were friendly and seemed to like their jobs. I am not a high maintenance person, but they seemed to respond to people's needs and requests in a timely fashion with a smile.. I appreciate the benefits of complimentary snacks and beverages, as well as the relatively inexpensive checked baggage fee. (Although I would like it better if it were free! :) ) The only improvement that could be made to make the boarding process more efficient is to board the plane from the back. The alternative would be to board people with only a personal item first. This would reduce the wait time while others are stowing their baggage.

Ran out of my choice of main course in BClass. Kind of weird combo for substitute.

Boarding was smooth and efficient. The only food was some pretzels, but it was a short flight. Not much to order if you were hungry.

They were fast and I like how they used to entertainment system to play video about the safety.

We Left Calgary 1/2 hour late and that made for a tight connection in Denver. After arriving everything was done to help us make our connection. That was a great effort. Thank You United

Efficient, calm when things were delayed and kept us regularly informed of what was happening.

Plane temperature was comfortable (not to hot) when boarding and waiting for takeoff.

Not as good as expected Air Can needs to improve totally rated on internet as worst

Horrible; seating was atrocious - inadequate leg room and seat width tight even for a small individual. Profits shouldn’t be everything!

I flew basic economy, so it was what I expected. Crew was nice though, and flight was quick. Would recommend for flights under 6 hours, otherwise would upgrade to something with more leg room.

Calgary desperately needs a star alliance lounge in the transborder area for United.

I think it would have been better to get a heads up to download the app before getting on the plane as I only had wifi in the airport and didn’t realize the plane was an older one. Maybe a little more communication before hand would be lovely. The seats as always were crammed and uncomfortable and trying to convince people to spend an extra 150 so that we have an extra foot of leg room was less then ideal.

Despite travelling ultra basic for the first time due to such increased rates we both managed with one bag each. Even boarding last wasn’t SO bad.

Flight was early. That’s the only positive I can share. I paid for wifi on the flight and it didn’t allow me to use any streaming services so it was a waste of $20. West Jet also lost my ski equipment on my way to a ski vacation. They told me it would be delivered to the hotel as soon as it arrived at the airport. It was never delivered. I had to pick it up at the airport on my way home. I am completely disgusted with my experience on west jet

I was seated near a "stinky" person. That's not the fault of Westjet🙁😶‍🌫️

my carry-on bag was delayed and I did not receive it until the day of my return at the airport. This delay caused me significant inconvenience, as I did not have access to my personal belongings for the duration of my trip. I had expected to rely on my carry-on items, and being without them negatively impacted my travel experience.

Technology issues at the bag-check counter caused a delay, and we were unable to check out our bags, ultimately missing our flight. They offered no assistance other than telling us to book another flight out of Calgary. We arrived with plenty of time; if there hadn't been an issue with the kiosk and the length of the lines due to the technical issues, we could have made it home.

Worst check in and bag drop off experience. Staff were incredibly rude given that it’s the WestJet system that is faulty.

The staff at the airport and on the plane were wonderful I especially wanna acknowledge the staff who boarded us at the Calgary airport. The women who helped us board at the airport were incredible… they were so kind and sweet…I very happy with WestJet and I am hoping I can fly more often to Canada.

Staff was nice, helpful, and did all they could. I understand economy seats are bottom of the barrel, but we're crammed in there with others in our row.

Crew was friendly. Lost our luggage and told us it’d be in later in the evening of the day we returned. It was not. Still after 5 days have not received it.

It took 30 minutes to check in with the Westjet rep. They didn’t have enough seats and she needed to make a call… I am always “randomly” selected to be checked at security. Their “randomly “ selection system may need some updating. They treat people like criminals. It is not appropriate behavior.

Another good flight experience with Air Canada. The business section did not feature the full length sleeping arrangement, but this was a shorter trip. The food was excellent. But the flight crew was truly top tier: friendly, cheerful, helpful at all the right times. Air Canada truly outshines all U.S. carriers.

Wifi was great. Kind air crew and comfortable seating. Also liked the entertainment options.

I did not noticed baggage was separate - I had assumed international flights included luggage, so it surprised me I had to pay to check a bag.

In a nutshell, my bag, the one I have to pay for, because now you can’t even bring a carry on, did not make it. I am still waiting for an update. The fact that not only were have to pay for it, but on top of that we are stuck without getting it, it’s ridiculous..

flight landed late almost 1.00hr and we 4 passengers missed our connected flight to indianapolis, we need to get the hotel and taxi for the next day flight to home in indianapolis, cost us $ 300 more

Overall good experience. The flight from Toronto to Denver does not have entertainment - movies to watch.

The only issues I have are the seats are very small and so is the overhead storage. You should mention that while booking flights. I had plenty of knee room but I am wider than my seat, and I am not fat at all. The Mitsubishi 900 models need to be upgraded to western size people. I do not know how a 300 pound woman fit into those seats. I had to continuously lean away from the aisle to keep people and flight crew from bumping into my shoulder. 3 hour flight so no entertainment or food, just snacks and a drink, which was no big deal. The buttery/garlic pretzels were pretty tasty.

I was overcharged either by United or sister airline Air Canada. It's exhausting dealing with companies nowadays that irresponsibly abuse access to credit/debit cards.

The flight attendants that assisted me were exceptionally nice, kind and helpful

I fly all the time for work & am used to seeing "XYZ flight facilitated by XYZ airlines" (or similar) and it's never been an issue. This flight from Edmonton to DFW through Denver was very early - 6 am, international, so at the airport by 3am. The flight was booked on Kayak through Air Canada and the actual flight was supposed to be on United. I didn't receive anything from Air Canada prior to the flight, other than to check in via United app when I tried to find my flight on Air Canada app. The day of, we were all on the plane at 5:45 am, when the pilot came out to let us know that the engine had been leaking for some time, and we were now going to have to deplane and wait for the mechanic to arrive and evaluate. So, we did. Why the flight wasn't cancelled at that point I don't know. After about an hour, sure enough - cancelled, however at that point, it's late already to try and get onto a flight out of Edmonton (YEG) on a weekend, esp. since post-COVID it doesn't seem that YEG has fully recovered in terms of flights and airline availability. Trying to get back to DFW took me the rest of the weekend from Sat am at 6 to Sunday pm - late, included renting a car on my own dime and driving to Calgary (YYC) which has more flight availability, as well as another night's hotel also on my own dime. I found some help on the United app - the chat personnel did try to help find some way home. When I called Air Canada after I couldn't get a flight through United - they were quite rude and short on the phone, letting me know that it was my problem (and United's) not theirs. Since Air Canada booked the ticket and took my money I would expect that if nothing else they would try to be of some help. I am so disappointed in Air Canada and their customer service, btw - my follow-up email to them for some type of resolution or acknowledgement was acknowledged by the system as having been received but as of this point - 5 days later - no response.
