International Passengers
Denver International Airport (DIA) is proud to be the gateway to Denver, Colorado,
and the Rocky Mountain West. Although DIA is one of the busiest airports in the
world, you will discover how easy it is to travel to or from your international
flight.
In Your Language:
Connecting Flights
If you are connecting to another flight, once you have cleared customs you will
leave the U.S. Customs area and proceed to passenger security screening in Jeppesen
Terminal. Once through security-screening, take an automated train from the terminal
to your departure gate. You can recheck your baggage outside of the U.S. Customs
area, and airline personnel will direct you to your departure gate. Baggage carts
are available free of charge in the U.S. Customs area.
Traveling Between Jeppesen Terminal and Gates
An automated train quickly connects DIA’s Jeppesen Terminal to A Gates, B Gates,
and C Gates. The train trip from A Gates to B Gates is approximately three minutes.
You can travel from A Gates to C Gates in less than five minutes. Train stations
are located in the center of all four buildings. Signs will direct you. If your
destination is an A gate, then you can walk there using a bridge to A Gates.
International Arrivals
If you are arriving from another country and have not cleared U.S. Customs, you
will arrive at DIA’s A Gates. When you disembark from the plane, you will travel
through a passageway and over an enclosed bridge; then take an escalator or elevator
to U.S. Customs and Immigration, located in Jeppesen Terminal.
Customs and Immigration
Immigration agents will examine your passport and other required government documentation.
You will collect your baggage and enter a line for a U.S. Customs officer, who will
ask whether you have any merchandise or currency to declare before you enter the
United States. You can find more information on U.S. Customs and Immigration at
www.dhs.gov.

Departures
All departing passengers begin their journey in Jeppesen Terminal, where ticketing,
flight check-in, baggage check-in, and security screening are located. Airline counters
are located on both sides of the terminal: Terminal East and Terminal West. Once
you have passed through passenger security screening, you can take an automated
train from the terminal to a concourse and your departure gate. As most international
flights depart from A Gates, you may also choose to walk the enclosed bridge that
connects Jeppesen Terminal to A Gates. A passenger security screening checkpoint
is located at the bridge entrance, which is on Terminal Level 6.
Security
All departing passengers must go through passenger security screening. You must
be ready to show an agent a valid passport or other approved government-issued photo
identification and a flight boarding pass before entering the screening area. The
U.S. Transportation Security Administration describes security screening and its
airline travel policies on its Web site:
