Calling All Intrepid Brits: Can You Actually Fly Directly to Denver from the UK?
Ah, Denver. The Mile High City! Home of cowboys (sort of, they're more wranglers these days), craft breweries colder than your ex's heart, and mountains that make Everest look like a molehill (okay, maybe a slight exaggeration). But before you start dreaming of Rocky Mountain oysters (don't Google that), you might be wondering: can you actually fly there from Blighty in one go?
Buckle Up, Buttercup, Because the Answer is: Yes! You can absolutely ditch the whole "plane-hopping-through-Iceland-and-questioning-your-life-choices" routine and fly directly from the UK to Denver.
But Hold on There, Partner, Here's the Catch: Not all UK airports are created equal. Think of it like crisps - you wouldn't settle for prawn cocktail flavour, would you? (Unless you're a monster). The main contenders for direct flights are London Heathrow (LHR) and occasionally Manchester Airport (MAN).
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Who Are Your Wingmen on This Transatlantic Adventure? A couple of airlines are ready to whisk you across the pond:
- British Airways: Because let's face it, who better to conquer the skies with than a good old cuppa and a stiff upper lip (metaphorically speaking, please don't bring stiff upper lips on the plane).
- United Airlines: America's sweetheart might not have tea and crumpets, but they'll get you to Denver in comfort (hopefully).
How Long Will You Be Playing Patience with the In-Flight Entertainment? Brace yourself for a journey that's roughly 9-10 hours. Think of it as an extended opportunity to catch up on all those boxsets you haven't gotten around to.
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
So, Basically, You're Saying There's a Chance I Can Be Sipping a Coors Light in Denver by Teatime Tomorrow? Not quite, but with a good night's sleep on the plane and maybe a cheeky G&T at the airport bar, you'll be well on your way to conquering the Wild West (or at least enjoying a delicious craft beer).

How do I avoid jet lag? Hydrate like a crazy person on the flight, try to adjust your sleep schedule beforehand, and for goodness sake, get some fresh air when you land!
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
What documents do I need to fly to the US? You'll need a valid passport (with at least six months left on it) and an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Don't worry, it's an online application that's pretty straightforward.
What if I need a visa? Check the US Department of State website to see if you qualify for visa-free travel under the Visa Waiver Program.
So there you have it! Now get packing, book your flight, and get ready to experience the Mile High City in all its glory. Just remember, chaps, chaps - tipping is expected in the US (unlike throwing tenners at pigeons in Trafalgar Square).
