What LAS to DEN looks like
The LAS to DEN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Las Vegas LAS to Denver DEN is a short sector of 1,009 km by great circle, flown nonstop 21.9 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,009 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 47m.
Las Vegas LAS is a major hub in the network held here, 212 scheduled destinations and 642 departures a day. Denver DEN has 245 destinations and 1,131.7 departures a day.
Denver is one hour ahead of Las Vegas all year.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on LAS to DEN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAS to DEN | 21.86 | 153 | Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines |
| DEN to LAS | 20.57 | 144 | Air Wisconsin, Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 21.9 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 297 departures a week on LAS to DEN, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 1h 47m block time on LAS to DEN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to LAS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At LAS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| LAS to DEN in the air, estimated | 107 min | 6h 17m |
| Formalities at DEN | 90 min | 7h 47m |
| Delivery run in Denver | 45 min | 8h 32m |
| Door to door | 512 min | 8h 32m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for LAS to DEN is 8h 32m.
A courier who leaves Las Vegas at 09:00 local is on the ground in Denver at about 11:47 local and at the door by 14:02 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Denver, the last useful departure from Las Vegas is around 12:58 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 64 of them join LAS to DEN.
| Connecting at | LAS to hub, flights a day | Hub to DEN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Albuquerque ABQ | 5.45 | 10 | 1,344 | 3h 59m |
| Salt Lake City SLC | 11 | 25 | 1,220 | 4h 02m |
| Phoenix PHX | 20.14 | 25.86 | 1,380 | 4h 05m |
| El Paso ELP | 4.71 | 5.71 | 1,847 | 4h 22m |
| Boise BOI | 4.29 | 9.71 | 1,879 | 4h 24m |
| San Diego SAN | 20.71 | 19.71 | 1,787 | 4h 37m |
With 21.9 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
64 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Albuquerque ABQ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5.5 times a day.
Through ABQ the routing covers 1,344 km against the 1,009 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 59m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 12m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Salt Lake City SLC at 4h 02m and Phoenix PHX at 4h 05m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for LAS to DEN in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
