Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Munich to Denver 
YantiFlew with United Airlines-Nov 2024
Get yourself plenty of time to the next connection, at least 3-5 hours
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Nov 2024
Save up and go 1st class and please be aware you stand in line for Munich customs over 1 hour. The customs in Denver wasn’t that bad. There was a long line but they moved you through fairly quickly. I wouldn’t advise economy even after you upgrade your seat. It’s too cramped for such a long flight. I was miserable. It was a United A380 plane. I was bumped back to row 15.
