Speed here is measured door to gate, and yours is 2 hours 2 minutes. When a consignment misses its window it usually misses it on the ground, not in the air. Cheyenne is on the courier list because the ground half is short: 168 km to Denver, then the 245 destinations it serves without a change.

What the work pays
The fee for an assignment is agreed with you in writing before you accept it. These are the figures the site publishes, and what the desk covers on top of them.
Top published feeAED 2,000The highest fee the site shows for a single assignment: sealed medical samples in a cooled case, Dubai to Singapore.
Published band, per assignmentAED 900 to 2,600A document pouch to London is AED 1,200, an aircraft part to Frankfurt AED 1,500, an escorted watch on the Berlin lane AED 1,800.
What the flight costs youAED 0The desk books and pays the ticket, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never fronts the fare.
The one payment you makeAED 199, returnedThe Academy, paid once. It comes back in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. Applying itself is free.
Fees vary with the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate, so the desk quotes each assignment individually rather than pretending one number fits every trip. You are self-employed and there is no minimum: accept or decline whatever you like, and declining costs you nothing. Earnings are paid per delivery by bank transfer, they appear in your courier portal, and you can request a payout once the balance reaches AED 200. Apply and see the flight board.

How to start, in four steps
1
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
2
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
3
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
4
Fly, hand over, get paid
Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
The desk calls, you answer, and the clock starts. 2 hours 2 minutes to Denver, boarding pass already issued, consignment in the cabin. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of LHR, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. You hand over to a named person, you photograph the handover, and the assignment is closed in the portal the same day.
Getting to the aircraft from Cheyenne
Road, not air, decides whether Cheyenne gets the call. From Cheyenne it is 168 km to DEN and 2 hours 2 minutes behind the wheel, and the desk holds you to the check in time rather than the departure time.
The distance from Cheyenne to DEN is 168 km, and the desk plans it as a leg in its own right: an earlier start, a paid transfer, or a hotel by the terminal. DEN is the only usable gate for Cheyenne, which makes its 245 nonstop destinations the whole of the picture rather than the start of it.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DEN | Denver | 168 km | 2 hours 2 minutes | 245 |
Cheyenne is a city of 65,000 people in Wyoming, and the clock there runs 10 hours behind the Emirates in summer and 11 in winter. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes. Only airports this site publishes a scheduled nonstop board for are listed, so a smaller field nearer Cheyenne may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What DEN reaches without a change
The desk checks two things before it calls Cheyenne: how far you are from DEN, and what DEN flies. The second answer is 245 nonstop destinations across 15 countries.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHX | Phoenix | Phoenix Sky Harbor | about 26 departures a day | 5 operators: United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines |
| SLC | Salt Lake City | Salt Lake City | about 24 departures a day | 6 operators: Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Delta Air Lines |
| LAX | Los Angeles | Los Angeles | about 23 departures a day | 5 operators: United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines |
| LAS | Las Vegas | Las Vegas McCarran | about 21 departures a day | 4 operators: United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines |
| ORD | Chicago | Chicago O'Hare | about 20 departures a day | 4 operators: United Airlines, Frontier Airlines, American Airlines |
| DFW | Dallas-Fort Worth | Dallas-Fort Worth | about 20 departures a day | 3 operators: United Airlines, Frontier Airlines, American Airlines |
| MSP | Minneapolis | Minneapolis Wold-Chamberlain | about 20 departures a day | 5 operators: United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines |
| SAN | San Diego | San Diego | about 19 departures a day | 4 operators: United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines |
| SEA | Seattle | Seattle Tacoma | about 18 departures a day | 5 operators: Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Delta Air Lines |
| AUS | Austin | Austin Bergstrom | about 18 departures a day | 4 operators: United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines |
Counting every airport a courier in Cheyenne can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 245 airports. Frequencies are average daily flights and change with the season, so the desk checks the live schedule before it offers you anything.
What moves out of Cheyenne
An industrial register exists on this site for some airports and DEN is not among them. The traffic from Cheyenne is still real and still urgent: originals, components, samples and valuables that missed a network cut off.
Why a courier in Cheyenne is useful to the desk
Inbound work into Wyoming is the quiet half of this. Consignments arrive into Wyoming as often as they leave it, and somebody has to meet the aircraft at DEN and complete the handover. A courier who already lives 2 hours 2 minutes away is the obvious answer.
The connection is the part worth understanding before you accept anything out of DEN. From Cheyenne the best single change is London (LHR), and LHR to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 4 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 17h 53m gate to gate, so an assignment between Cheyenne and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.

The engagement, and who we are looking for
The engagement
- Type: freelance, self-employed. You are an independent courier accepting individual assignments, not an employee, and you decide which ones you take.
- Where it runs: assignments are flown out of DEN, between the United States and wherever the consignment is going, with the return leg agreed per mission.
- Hours: variable. An assignment is a single trip, not a shift or a roster.
- How you are paid: a fee per completed assignment, agreed in writing before you accept it. The fees published on this site run from AED 1,200 for a document pouch to AED 2,000 for a cooled medical consignment, and the figure for your assignment reflects the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate.
- What the desk pays: the flight, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never pays for the ticket and never fronts the fare.
- Applying is free. No payment is required to apply, to be screened or to be placed on the courier list. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and is returned in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier ever makes to us.
What we look for
- A passport with comfortable remaining validity and free pages, and the right to enter the country on the routing. The desk checks the visa position for your specific passport before any assignment is offered.
- A clean background check and a willingness to be verified. Couriers carry other people’s property.
- Availability at short notice, and a realistic view of the 2 hours 2 minutes drive to DEN. Most assignments are confirmed hours, not days, before departure.
- Presentable, calm and articulate at a customs counter. The consignment is only as smooth as the person carrying it.
- A working phone, reachable on the number you gave us, for the whole assignment.
What we provide
- The ticket. Always. A courier never pays for the flight and never fronts the fare.
- The paperwork, prepared before you reach DEN, and a named contact at the desk on both ends.
- A briefing on the consignment, the consignee and what the customs position at the far end looks like.
- A fee per completed assignment, agreed with you in advance and paid by bank transfer after the handover.
Questions about the Cheyenne list
01How far is Cheyenne from DEN?
About 2 hours 2 minutes, or 168 km of measured route. Every city on this list has that number recorded, and it is what decides who gets the call for a departure out of DEN tonight.

DEN serves 245 airports nonstop across 15 countries with 32 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Cheyenne can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 245 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Cheyenne to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Cheyenne the best single change is London (LHR), and LHR to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 4 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 17h 53m gate to gate, so an assignment between Cheyenne and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.
04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?

05Does it cost anything to apply?
Nothing to apply, nothing to be screened and nothing to stay on the Cheyenne list. One payment exists anywhere in the process, the AED 199 Academy, and it comes back on top of your first assignment fee out of DEN.
06How is my fee agreed?
A courier in Cheyenne is never asked to accept an assignment before seeing the fee for it, because the routing out of DEN and the figure arrive in the same message.
