I have the following connection planned on Sunday:

Arrive DEN 5:28pm (UA GEG-DEN)
Depart DEN 6:25pm (US DEN-PHX)

Will I be okay? I remember it taking me 20 minutes to connect within UA's concourse to another UA flight in the same concourse, let alone from UA to US Air in another concourse.

What do you think?

...What do you think?
Standard tight connections answer -- if everything is on time, you should be OK -- you might even make it before the DEN-PHX starts boarding (if you don't have to wait for the train). But if you are delayed, all bets off.

You will probably make it but if you are late it will be tough. Us has the worst gates a DEN. End of concourse C. Not matter what there is going to be alot of walking and a train evolved.

Moving walkways installed and new restaurants / services in Conc C...it helps, a little.

Rumor on a.net indicated talks are underway to move both US (from C) and CO (from A) to B with United at DEN. If AC and LH joined the trio in B, we'd have a "Under One Roof" Star Alliance hub. LH & AC would require customs connection for arriving int'l flights or a towing operation to get planes from A over to B. If anyone has heard anything further...chime in.

Makes sense--there are several underutilized gates on B that could easily support US flights. WN may want to get more gates on C, but their plans are uncertain after the failed bid for F9. AC has operated from B since Canadian flights pre-clear customs before departure. CO is dicier since they have a PC on A, and LH and BA use this club for their departures. I suppose CO could abandon their club in favor of the RCC :( but towing intl. flights from one concourse to another is inefficient.

Just an idea.
