Not always. Whenever I leave Colorado to vacation or visit friends and family I am typically relaxed compared to other airports. Whenever I fly, I have a it is what it is mentality and that has saved me a lot of time and stress.

I have had a ton of flight delays. The delays are for understandable reasons, though. It is typically around the holidays when there are harsh weather conditions.

One year during the holidays I had a flight delayed three times and I did not return to Colorado until 3:00 a.m. I was supposed to arrive at 5 p.m. the previous night.
