Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to get some fresh air during a layover? A few airports around the country have outdoor decks where you can do this. And one of them is Denver International Airport (DEN), which has three post-security outdoor decks with comfortable seating, firepits, views of the airfield and pet relief areas.
