Had a nice little dinner in DEN this evening in terminal C. Timberline Steak and Grille was a nice surprise. Trout almondine was delicious. Nice change of pace from the usual airport fare.

No. It's on the gate level in the circle above the tram.

Yeah, that's where we always go in Denver. You can sit by the windows and they have a nice charging station. Nice Colorado beer list too. Must be the main Southwest wing.

DIA has done a really good job with providing quality food options.  In terminal C Root Down is the best IMO... awesome cocktails!  Terminal B has Elways, and Terminal A is putting in a Mercantile... James Beard restaurant.

But that is probably the only good thing about DIA these days.  I have been flying in and out of there for 16 years and it has never been more overcrowded than it is now.  The construction doesn't help though and hopefully it is better when completed.

The security line is always the worst there.

There's a half-secret bullshit security line there that they open when it gets busy (or at least used to).  I believe it's basically taking a walkway from the main building to Terminal A.

Yeah that one is a crap show now too.  The real trick is to get tsa precheck, but they moved that to only the north side security now.  It still has a line, but obviously a lot faster.

have posted multiple times but mrs. dave was barfing her guts out in that long snaking ass security line (pre tsa pre) after we were at a wedding there the night before and she was going to die her guts out her entire life. and the workers there would just bring her a full size trash barrel to barf in and we'd move around the snaking line more and they'd bring it and she'd barf more. it would absolutely not be possible today. incredible service at the time though!. then trim was there at the same time and he came over to where we were and we did combo fan signs and my wife like eyes glazed over hanging off a shitty airport bench said "hey...trim".

This is the worst thing you'll see today. I don't use Hertz anyway, so it's whatever for me, but why in the hell are they doing?

When looking at Twitter to see if they have released a statement, they haven't. I found this.

Who knew a rental car company would be the poster child for corporate irresponsibility?

I'd think Hertz calling the cops on over 300 people for cars they didn't steal, not doing crap about it, them lying about the reason it keeps happening, is a bigger deal, but maybe I'm wrong on this one.

I hope they fix this before they get someone killed.

Yeah I totally understand the opinion.  My parents love them so I was playing along with them.  I like them too and right now testing to get back into the US is too big of a PITA.
