Key Routes from DEN

Delay Patterns at DEN

Denver International's Front Range location makes it vulnerable to dramatic and fast-moving weather systems. Understanding typical disruption patterns helps set expectations:

Winter (Nov–Mar)

Blizzards are the defining delay event at DEN. Major snowstorms can strand thousands of passengers and shut down operations for 12–24 hours. Denver's position on the plains means storms arrive fast with little warning. De-icing operations are extensive, and runway clearing after heavy snow takes time across DEN's six runways.

Summer (Jun–Aug)

Afternoon thunderstorms along the Front Range build almost daily, producing lightning, hail, and microbursts. These typically develop between 2–7 PM and can trigger ground stops. Morning flights have significantly better on-time performance.

Spring (Mar–May)

Late-season snowstorms are common and often the heaviest of the year. March and April blizzards regularly disrupt DEN operations. Wind events can also reduce runway capacity.

Tip: Morning departures (before 11 AM) consistently have the best on-time performance at DEN. Summer thunderstorms and winter storms both tend to peak in the afternoon and evening.

United Airlines is actively equipping its fleet with Starlink satellite internet — the fastest WiFi ever offered on a commercial airline. DEN-based narrowbody aircraft, including 737 MAX 8, 737 MAX 9, and A321neo, are among the first aircraft types receiving Starlink installations.

Use The Blue Board's Fleet tab to check if your specific aircraft has Starlink. You can search by tail number, flight number, or aircraft type.

How to check: Look up your flight on The Blue Board → check the aircraft details panel → look for "Starlink" in the WiFi field. Equipped aircraft show ● Starlink.
