If you’re a weekend adventurer like myself, one of the best ways to make the most of your time will be to find direct flights to your destination. While I work a 9-5 as a travel agent during the week, I have been looking into taking more international weekend trips out of my home base in Colorado. And to my surprise, Denver offers a lot more direct international flights than I had anticipated, including new options to Europe and the Caribbean (and the list keeps growing!)
As of this blog post (March 2024), there are currently 32 direct international flight options that fly out of Denver, Colorado – with flights into 17 different countries outside of the US. And some of these routes are brand new and will be available for travel starting May of this year!
