Airport shuttle Landline launches bus rides for all from Loveland to DIA
Landline, the company that offers "wingless flights" via United Airlines from Northern Colorado Regional Airport to Denver International, is opening its bus service to any DIA travelers.
The new shuttle will operate four times a day beginning Sept. 19. Once at DIA, passengers flying airlines other than United will still have to get their bags and check in at their airline.
United passengers can check their bags at the Loveland airport through to their final destination.
Landline joins Groome as an alternative way to get to DIA. The Landline fare will cost $29 one way for adults and $10 one way for children under 13. As an introductory promotion, the first three customers on any Landline trip to and from DIA booked on Landline.com will pay $3 each through Nov. 15. Parking at the Loveland airport is free.
"There's no longer any worry about I-25 traffic, paying for gas/tolls or expensive parking fees" in Denver, Landline CEO David Sunde said in a statement.
Through a partnership with United Airlines, Landline began offering what it calls "wingless flights" from Loveland to DIA last year. That means United passengers can book flights and check their bags in Loveland and board the Landline luxury bus for the first leg of the trip.
Landline and United are still working the the Transportation Security Administration to figure out a way to screen and secure a busload of passengers as if they had gone through checkpoints at DIA. Once they get that clearance, United passengers would be dropped off within a secure gate at DIA.

Shuttles will run every day from Northern Colorado Regional Airport to DIA at 5:50 and 9:25 a.m. and 1:35 and 5:50 p.m.
Shuttles will leave DIA for Loveland at 7:55 and 11:35 a.m. and 3:55 and 8:35 p.m. daily.
