Making your way to Denver International Airport

Few airports can enjoy the type of rave reviews that this one gets on a regular basis. It’s an extraordinarily good-looking airport. The roof of Jeppesen Terminal is the highlight, and was designed to echo the sweep of the snow-capped mountains on the horizon.

Denver International’s layout also makes the tedious routines of air travel as easy as possible. The main passenger terminal handles all the check-in, baggage, and security functions, and once you’ve jumped through the hoops, the rapid people mover will bring you to your concourse, either A, B, or C.

If you want a good meal, the airport restaurants are top-notch. You can keep yourself occupied with the basic free WiFi, with the option to upgrade to a premium high-speed service. Anyone traveling with a pet will be grateful for the well-designed pet relief area, and if you’re looking for a super convenient, super luxurious boarding facility, there’s one right at the airport, which offers perks like swimming pools and flat-screen televisions.

Arriving in Los Angeles

Your options in LA are almost endless, from long lazy days at the beach to shopping binges at some of the world’s best boutiques. For those with kids, Disneyland and Universal Studios are within arm’s reach, and the Los Angeles Zoo is one of the best in the world. Star-struck visitors can book a table at the Ivy on Robertson Boulevard, and catch a glimpse of movie legends doing lunch. (The salad menu has to be seen to be believed.)

If the flashy charms of Los Angeles start to get to you, there’s a wonderland of nature to be enjoyed right within the city. Griffith Park and Runyon Canyon are only two of the beautiful spots for jogging, hiking, and generally roaming wild. If you prefer your landscapes a little more manicured, visit the Huntington Library, which has 120 acres of gorgeous botanical gardens.
