DENVER AIRPORT

[BigCat]

Fly into DIA tommorow and have 38 minutes between scheduled landing (United Concourse B) and connection scheduled departure (Frontier Concourse A)    So, DIA experts....mad sprint to concourse A  or leisurely stroll showing confidence in making connection

Uh, neither. DIA has those trains between the concourses with the cool music, Hick's voice, and the whirlygigs on the tunnel walls. Plus your connecting flight won't be on time anyways, so I'd plan a ski trip.

Do you just step of the flight into the tram or is there some sort of foot based transportation between them and the gate

Walk/run/skip/hop/jump or whatever it is that you do from your arrival gate to the train. Get on the train. Listen to the instructions. Follow those instructions. Don't block the doors. The train will then deposit you in councourse A. You get off there. Then do the sd skip to the departure gate.

Or, better yet, ask some little kid to explain the process to you when you get there.

Yeah, I know how airport trams work 

sry, I thought it was one of those "how to put on a jacket" questions

Find the receptionist or whatever she is that meets people leaving a flight and inform her that you have a tight one and she'll (probably should include a he'll here too) call ahead to let them know you are taking a casual stroll their direction. 

Hope it isn't a dood.  Could end up in a isolated room with you pants around your ankles.

I've made tighter connections at DIA, but the key will be how long it takes you to taxi in to the terminal.  The runway will have a line 20 planes deep waiting to depart at that time, hope the tower doesn't hold you short for some of them.

Hope I'm not too late in this.

Always leisurely stroll. However, you must make it look like you don't have a lot of time. This is for public perception. Seriously, if you spend more than 15-20 minutes of downtime in an airport you're a &@#%ing moron who has no life

In order to pull this off you need to stroll by people and start up conversations with them but never let the conversation continue because you have a flight to catch.

EX. "Hey, I see you're reading Sack Lunch. Interesting book I'd love to share my thoughts on it but I have a flight to catch."
or "How you doing Mac? Enjoying a cream cheese stuffed soft pretzel? I'd love to try one of those sometime but my flights about to board."

These exchanges should always be executed without breaking pace.

IMO, this is the best way to show that you are cool and calm but crap man you got places to be. HTH.

Wonder if SD made it?  

FYI it depends on your arrival gate.  If you're at the end of B, then you'll have to do double time.  I would never check bags and expect to get them with such a tight connection, but if he's in Vegas he should have no trouble getting his clothes if/when they arrive.  Who needs change of clothes in Vegas anyway?
