Cheap Flights from Denver International (DEN) to Durango La Plata (DRO)

At the merger of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains is The Mile-High City, one that is interestingly located precisely 5,280 feet above sea level.  While Denver’s rapid development does not exist without its issues, namely traffic congestion and problems with pollution in the downtown area, local officials have been working hard to keep up with the population boom via the authorization of freeway expansions and public transportation overhaul projects, perhaps the most notable of which has been the recent addition of an efficient light rail network.

The destination of Durango is 231 miles to the Southwest of Queen City of the West, a trip that averages 58 minutes from gate-to-gate. United Airlines, Continental Airlines, US Airways, Great Lakes Airlines, and Air Canada all serve non-stop flights from Denver to Durango. Both places feature top-notch outdoor attractions, though many will say the trail running and mountain biking in excursions in Durango are much better!

Information for your Denver Departure

Roughly 53 square miles constitute Denver International’s airfield, which certainly makes it the biggest airport facility in the country. Its 16R/34L Runway is the longest public use one in the United States, and it also has the third largest domestic flight network.

Coincidentally, the airport’s annual passenger base mirrors its respective land area, though to a much larger degree; 53 million people pass through Jeppensen Terminal every year. The terminal is famous for its peaked roof design and pedestrian bridge. The latter affords visitors views of airplanes prepping for departure, in addition to lending photographic sights of the nearby Rocky Mountains.
