You Say "Tomato", I Say "Tomato, Let's Fly to Denver!" - A Brit's Guide to Crossing the Pond
So, you've decided to ditch the rain and crumpets for the sunshine and, well, more sunshine of Denver? Excellent choice! But hold on, traversing the Atlantic Ocean requires a bit more planning than popping down the pub for a pint. Fear not, intrepid traveler, this guide will have you navigating from UK to Denver like a pro (well, an informed amateur at least).
Channel Your Inner Indiana Jones (Without the Snakes - Probably)
First things first, there's the matter of getting across the big blue. Flights are your best bet. Sure, you could try paddling a bathtub across, but that might take a while (and be highly inadvisable). There are a few options to consider:
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
- Direct Flights: These are your swiftest steeds, whisking you from the UK (most likely London Heathrow) to Denver in around 9-10 hours. Perfect if you're short on time or just fancy getting that Rocky Mountain high ASAP.
- Indirect Flights: Think of these as scenic detours. You might have a layover in Iceland or another charming European city, adding some extra travel time but potentially bringing down the cost.
Top Tip: Be a comparison Casanova (or Catherine)! Use flight comparison sites to find the best deals.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.

- Ridesharing: Hail an Uber or Lyft and be on your way in comfort (and air conditioning, because Denver summers can be scorchers).
