Intl Inbound UA in DEN, how long to clear baggage and get back to B concourse?
Hi, please move to the appropriate forum. a few subforums seem appropriate for the question....
Inbound UA international to Denver (PTY), looking for a ballpark on how long to get baggage out (Global entry, but DEN used to be notorious for exceptional baggage delays), clear tsa pre and get back to B concourse. In some airports this can be a very quick process, in others, baggage alone may take 40 minutes, and the pre-line may be closed at tsa, etc. Lots of variables, but a working estimate would be helpful.
UA has started pricing PTY-(den) -LAS competitively with their IAH connections, and I do prefer the food selection there + generally shorter avg distance to connection gate (for domestics), but I haven't flown inbound into DEN ever international.

I've flown YQR-DEN-xxx several times (and clearance was at DEN, and I used GE via NEXUS). I was never more than an hour.
I'd book a 2-hour connection just be sure - you never know what can happen; they can always send you to secondary - but that should be a comfortable amount of time.
