If you are flying out of concourse B, approximately how much time will it add to your journey to have to walk/train to the Centurion Lounge in concourse C and then back to B?
[I am completely ignorant of DEN - I'm suggesting to a friend that it's worth bothering to accept a 100K signup bonus to get a platinum card, but he thinks it'll take him too long on the train to be worth his while. No need to provide me with the other obvious counterarguments - I'm just looking for the time differential in Denver]

Also, keep in mind that the occupant of Concourse B, United, is now operating flights out of all three concourses due to ongoing construction. A lot of their regional jet flights that were previously out of B-70+ are now operating out of the regional jet area of Concourse A, which is a fair distance from Concourse C.

I'd say that the only incremental time needed to get to C from A regional gates compared to B regional gates is an extra 30 seconds on the train since you have to go A-C instead of B-C. The walk from the farthest regional A and farthest regional B are similar in length. A might be a tiny bit shorter and certainly less crowded.

Welcome to FlyerTalk, Jeffrey Fullerton! Was there any signage indicating a projected opening?

Talking with my friend, she said the completion date has definitely pushed out into 2020, and may still be a year out. Very disappointing news to say the least

The biggest variable is how many times the automated voice on the train has to nag people for holding open the door.
(RIP the old admonishment)

I was primarily concerned about people accidentally going on autopilot to the regional area of Terminal B when they were actually departing from the regional area of Terminal A.

Alan Roach (his real name) was just saying what the rest of us who had somewhere to go were already thinking in our heads... "YOU (!!!) are delaying the departure of this train."
I know someone who sells food product to companies that operate the lounges out there and he'd heard definitely not until 2020. It seems like The Points Guy also confirmed that yesterday, but I'm not interested in driving traffic to his site with a link.

Got to DEN a little early this morning so I went over to C. No visible progress made since last pics as far as I can tell.
I was flying out of B (B39, so right in the middle) so I decided to time the walk. From the bottom of the escalators at the Amex lounge to B39 I made it in 4:56. I consider this the fastest possible time without breaking a sweat. I walked on the moving walkways, I kept moving on the escalators, I was able to step right onto the train without waiting and my gate was almost the closest to the center of B. I would always plan at least 10 mins and a few extra if you are on the far reaches of A or B.
