If you do not live near a hub airport, your best option for getting a non-stop flight to Denver is on United, Frontier, or Southwest airlines.
Ground Transportation
There are several options to get to Boulder from the airport:
- Green Ride Boulder is $30 each way to the hotel.
- Boulder Super Shuttle is $30 each way and drops off at the hotel.
- Taxis cost roughly $90 for a one way trip.
- Car rentals are available at the airport.
Linked are driving directions for taking the E-470 Tollway ($8), or I-70 from the airport to the hotel. The tollroad is quicker and has less traffic than I-70. Most rental car companies have toll passes in their rental cars so toll charges will be paid through the rental agencies.
