Note on Paris: We are also seeing DEN to Paris (CDG) at $907 round-trip for Jul 15 - Jul 18, but this sits at typical price levels rather than a meaningful discount, so we have not badged it as a deal. Worth watching if Paris is your goal.

Denver Airport Tip

DEN is your gateway to all these deals. Denver International sits east of the city so factor in 45-60 minutes from downtown. For early morning Europe departures (like the Frankfurt and Munich May 3 flights), consider staying near DEN the night before to avoid rush hour stress. For Mexico routes, DEN has solid direct service from its main concourses - check in early on busy travel weekends like Memorial Day to beat the crowds at security.

Denver Airport Strategies for Premium Travelers

Denver International (DEN) is the only commercial airport serving the Denver metro and it punches well above its weight for premium cabin routing. Here is what premium members should know:

EUROPE: United and Lufthansa Group carriers dominate DEN-Europe Business Class. The Lufthansa Lounge at DEN (airside, Concourse B) is worth arriving early for on transatlantic departures to Frankfurt and Munich.
MEXICO DIRECT: American, United, and Southwest all run direct Mexico routes from DEN. For Business Class specifically, check United and American first as they typically have the widest premium inventory on DEN-Cancun, DEN-Cabo, and DEN-PVR.
TOKYO ROUTING: Most DEN-NRT Business Class itineraries connect via a West Coast hub (LAX, SFO, SEA). If you value flat-bed sleep, prioritize flights that depart DEN in the evening to position for the long overnight Pacific leg.
REYKJAVIK HACK: Icelandair is the dominant carrier on DEN-KEF. Their Saga Class (Business) is occasionally available for modest premiums over Economy - worth checking if you want extra comfort on the Atlantic crossing.
LOUNGE ACCESS AT DEN: United Club is located in Concourse B. The Priority Pass lounge (Club at DEN) is in Concourse C. For early morning Europe departures, aim to clear security 90 minutes before departure.
MILES STRATEGY: Earning miles on these Business Class fares can be extremely lucrative. A $3,706 Tokyo Business ticket on the right card could yield 15,000+ points. Miles & Points Daily breaks down which cards offer the best return on premium airfare purchases.
