You will arrive clean from DEN and will have to exit the secure area, both because of the train and the lounges in T2 are outside security.

You'll then need some kind of transit security on your return to T1.

Is it supposed to be faster than going through security B(West) landside?
My suggested route was the least complicated and likely to be fastest.

In order to do security in T1B you first need to go through passport control and there is no way to do that that is not convoluted and extra walking. Your options would be:
  • Passport control in T2, exit landside, take the train to B, go through security. Sounds simpler but more walking.
  • Take the train first back to B, follow the signs for B, passport control, then either transit security if it's open or landside and re-enter at B security. Both circuitous and more walking.
My suggested T2-Z-A route is much simpler, less walking and likely smaller queues.

Our connecting flight suppose to departs at 4:50pm. What time do we need to start going back?
I would leave a lot of buffer. I hate taking risks and would leave the lounge 45-60 minutes before boarding starts. You might be more comfortable with less, but start at least 30 minutes before boarding starts.
