Security will have to be gone through again. That's how they do it in DEN when flying out of YQR. It's actually not as bad as it sounds. I do wonder why the routing is through YQR and not YWG-MSP. That's a funny one. I'd get your friends to check at check in to see if they can get a direct flight to MSP. In fact, I'm wondering who the YWG-YQR leg is on as only AC flies that route--a Delta stock ticket?
I've spent lots of time in DEN and though it isn't the most exciting of airports it is a pretty easy one to transfer in and kill some time in.
I was wondering the same thing and he gave me some wrong info. He is flying YWG-YQR-DEN(Managed to get on the same flight as us)-LAS.
1 hour and 20 min enough to clear immigration at DEN and customs/security?
Sorry about all these questions, I just realize I can't remember the last time I connected in the states to go US... Probably about 30 times through YVR.
EDIT:As noted above, he will not check a bag if it is tight.
