Why I like to fly through the Denver International Airport, DIA
DIA, Denver International Airport, is one of the greatest airports in the wor ld. The fact that it resides in my backyard I find to not only be a convenience, but extremely nice. I can fly worldwide, with one stop. I can fly 24 hours a day, and the services are rarely effected by weather on our end based on the state of the art technological equipment installed. The fact that the airport is built with minimal impact, and runs on solar power makes it environmentally friendly too. From an operations standpoint, DIA is second to none.
I understand the problem with long cab rides from the airport, and that perspective from outsiders. This perspective has me writing this website. You just have to understand, DENVER isn't Las Vegas, Boston, or New York. We don't rely on cab drivers throughout a densly populated city. Quite the contrary, Denver suburbs abound, and stretch to Colorado Springs, south 100 miles and Fort Collins, 100 miles North. The airport, being outside the ring of suburbs, around Denver, but accessible by so many, is a great compromise that allows for 24/7 aircraft operation without traffic jams.

Parking at the airport is great. Secure, covered, uncovered, close in, far out, etc. Parking your car is definitely the way to go when traveling from DIA. Parking information.
