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 Cozumel
Cozumel International serves the Caribbean island just east of the Yucatán mainland. The airport is 3 km from the centre of San Miguel de Cozumel; taxis and resort shuttles handle the vast majority of arriving passengers. Cruise-ship traffic dominates the daytime demand on Cozumel itself; flight demand peaks around US winter (December–February). Diving demand stays steady year-round.
