Most likely space at this point, only concourse with no lounges or upper mezzanine stores in the above section.

In talking with another lounge company that had lounges outside the US and incorrectly built revenue assumptions on non-US experience, they had a massive let-down once they got to the U.S. in terms of revenue expectations.
In any event, at $20 theyre estimating around 1,300 customers per day. That's absolutely eye-popping. The busiest common use lounge might do 500/day now at Airspace SAN due to its one-of-a-kind Admirals Club agreement that brings in the sort of volume that this lounge wont be able to touch with or without LH/BA bringing in ~100/day. And oh yeah, that SAN lounge also has BA and JL and AXP and AA and is only at ~500...

I imagine they're banking on two things:
a) Amazon HQ2
b) Increased international service to DEN
c) That service currently has to be in Concourse A, because that's the only concourse with sterile gates that go to CBP
That's why Lufthy isn't colocated with UA at DEN.
LH already has double-daily flights to Germany. There are consistent rumors about KE and EK, plus existing international airlines without lounges at DEN.
But yeah, it's a stretch that a PPL lounge ever makes any sense in DEN.

Not really a pain, B has by far the best offerings for restaurants and has two United clubs, don't know what more you could ask for there. In terms of getting from each terminal its a 2-3 minute train ride each way, I do this numerous times from B to A or C to A.
