You don't really need it at a giant airport like DIA - there are enough flights arriving with regularity that arrivals will be fairly consistent. Obviously later in the day/evening more arrivals than morning. But it's not like a small/medium size airport where a few inbound flights will dump off a lot of arrivals at once needing rides.

Also at DIA especially, inbound flights from small and large cities won't necessary mean a wave of arrivals, as many of those passengers are connecting.

FlightInfoApps makes a good one, in the App Store or Google Play... just like looking at an airport monitor. Not sure why someone said You don't need one, it has been awesome for me sitting there in the QUE knowing there are 90 flights coming in, or also knowing that only 15 are coming and the rest are delayed or cancelled because of some storm in Cleveland.... obviously I am more optimistic about getting a PAX when there are 90 flights coming in....

Yes! Lol I slept all day yesterday and all last night . well until about 3 a.m. this morning. So about 24 hours :D I'm going to do this last ride and then go home and go to bed.

I don’t know how drivers make money who sits at DIA waiting lot. I tried few mornings if I was sleepy or just not feeling well, waiting can be around 3-4 hours for a single trip. Got my lesson. No rematch at drop off, then no waiting in queue for me

Some drivers can make it work. This has been stated before but some like myself who drive only select may wait up to 3-4 hours yes but that one trip equals 2 regular airport trips...without the extra mileage and time in traffic. Also, I can work on my business out there...or watch movies which is what I end up doing anyways haha.

It's likely the ones who wait out there don't feel the need to constantly drive because rideshare isn't their full time job.

We are talking SELECT,at the height of the summer and the wait time is longer than 2 hrs.
Right...I only drive Select when I'm out at the airport. And it was this summer I had the in and out twice within about an hour and a half total...one of those listed above only took 20mins.

IF you enter the queue with over 30 cars, yes your wait time may be longer than 4 hours. But I never enter the queue when it's that high unless I'm already out there and I say WTH why not.
