Denver International Airport should be simple, efficient and safe

As a frequent traveler since Denver International Airport opened in March of 1995, I say, emphatically, “No, nyet, fuhgettaboutit,” to the proposed redesign of the so-called Great Hall. When I arrive to depart, I want to check my bags, clear security and get to the appropriate concourse and gate area. I’m not interested in eating, drinking or shopping at the main terminal.

Provided I have time before my flight departs, there are ample places on the concourses to eat, drink and shop. Also, if my flight is delayed for awhile, I have zero interest in returning to the main terminal to do anything.

Finally, whether traveling for business or pleasure, the vast majority of passengers are interested in traveling as quickly, safely and cheaply as possible. Adding to the cost of travel is counterproductive to the true purpose of any airport, which is to ferry us to and from.
