So can anyone tell me what transportation there is from the airport? Do they have any public transportation like in Chicago with the EL? Or do we have to pay for a shuttle? I'm an inquiring mind and I need to know.
 
I don't think there is any public trans. DIA is a bit far out from the downtown area where we will be. You can book a shuttle or take a taxi.
 
Does anyone know the cost?
 
Here is the info I received from my upline-

The hotel is about 25 miles from airport( about 30-45 minutes)
There is a shuttle outside baggage claim. $21 1 way, or $38 rund trip - no need to make reservations- cash or credit cards.

Taxi cab- Ask for "flat rate to downtown" for $47 (otherwise the cost coul dbe $55 and over) - A great option if there is 2 or more.
 
I booked the shuttle and it was only $16 each way.... if you go to Consultants Corner and click on Leadership Conference and scroll to the bottom of the page there is information on how to get the discount.

okay I found (through the Denver airport web site) the light rail system. A bus from the airport to the light rail and light rail ($1.75) to Convention center. I can use what I saved for trinkets!
 
Ladies if you get on bus AF it takes you downtown for $10 per person
 
We are taking the bus!

Does this AF bus come often to the airport I'm assuming? We're planning out our travel to the hotel and want to go the cheapest way. Is is clearly marked AF?

There are several bus lines, but it will be marked on the front of the bus which line it is.
They are "RTD" buses, I live here in Denver, and I take them all the time to and from the airport.

Make sure you have the exact amount, 'cause they do not give change!!

Oh....Catch the bus on Level 5, outside bagage claim, go to "Island 5" to catch the bus. They come every 15-20 min. during the day.

You can see the complete schedule at

See you all next week!!!:D
 
I confirmed with a taxi company you can get a flat rate from the airport to downtown for $45.00 plus the $3.00 gate fee when leaving the airport. Also add in a tip. They have van taxis that can hold between six and seven people. I would only stick with six. So the cost would run about $10.00 per person and you will get to the downtown area quite quickly.
