Flying from Denver International
Denver International sits 25 miles northeast of downtown Denver — a deliberately remote site that allows for six runways and almost unlimited expansion. The A Line commuter train runs every 15 minutes from the airport directly to Union Station downtown in 37 minutes for $10.50. United dominates the schedule with its largest non-Newark hub; Southwest and Frontier add heavy domestic capacity. Snow disruption is common between November and March, but the airport's ground-stop policy is faster than ORD's.
Arriving in Aruba
Queen Beatrix International on Aruba is the southern-Caribbean island's only airport, 3 km southeast of downtown Oranjestad. US Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance operates here — passengers clear US immigration before boarding, arriving in the US as domestic flights. Fares peak November–April when northern winters push demand; the rest of the year is significantly cheaper, and Aruba sits south of the typical hurricane belt.
