Head to the skybridge security checkpoint

Skip the long security lines

If you’re travelling from Concourse A, you can get through security faster by opting for the security check by the pedestrian bridge. The lines are shorter and if you’re a Frontier passenger, the bridge is faster than the tram to get to your gate. You’ll save time and be able to enjoy views of the Rocky Mountains and planes taxiing beneath you while you wait.

Travelling between concourses

Take the AGTS shuttle train

The distances between concourses are long, so the Automated Guideway Transit System (AGTS) shuttle train will help you get to your gate more quickly. You can walk from the main terminal to Concourse A, but you'll have to get the shuttle to Concourses B and C. There are four stations: in the Jeppesen Terminal (after security, baggage claim), and in the centres of Concourses A, B and C.

You can even see some artwork on the way as two interactive visual art exhibits have been installed on the tunnels.
