Security screening of passengers at all commercial airports in the United
States is the responsibility of the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA).
For information on the latest security guidelines, questions about baggage
screening, and a list of items that cannot be taken through security,
please visit the agency's Web site to review Air
Travel information.
Every travel experience is different and it is important for travelers to understand
the time requirements involved in a trip. Travelers should contact their airline to
ask about cut-off times for checking bags, and to find out how many minutes the
airline expects travelers to be at the gate prior to departure.
- Call (303) 342-8477 for current wait times at security screening.
- Call (303) 342-7275 for parking space availability or visit our Parking page.
- Check your flight status.
Only ticketed passengers are allowed through security. Passengers must obtain
a boarding pass from the airline they are flying before they can pass through
security screening. E-ticket confirmations are no longer accepted for access.
Some airlines allow customers to print boarding passes online with “Web
check-in.” Please consult the airline you are flying to inquire if
the Web check-in option is available to you.
The airlines make exceptions to this rule for people with special needs,
such as unaccompanied minors, the elderly, or the physically challenged.
Contact your airline to
find out its policy. Usually, an airline reservations agent can help you
make the arrangements. Additionally, Denver International Airport contracts
with the Traveler’s Assistance Program (TAP). TAP is available to assist
our guests with any special needs, including wheelchairs or oxygen. Please
contact TAP in advance at 303-342-0400 to make arrangements.
One place to meet an arriving traveler is at the fountain in Jeppesen Terminal.
The fountain is located in the center of Terminal
Level 5 in front of the exit from the passenger train. Travelers
arrive on the train and come up an escalator into the terminal in front
of the fountain. If you meet your party there, please stay behind the
barrier so that traffic flow is not impeded. If your party walks to the
Terminal from Concourse A, or if you don't want to meet at the fountain,
you can meet in the baggage-claim area, also on Level
5. Baggage claim carousels are divided between Terminal West and
Terminal East, according
to airline.
Yes. Follow the signs on Peña
Boulevard to Arrivals,
Level 4 either Terminal West or Terminal East, according to airline
name. Overhead signs at curbside identify each airline location. Remember:
drivers may not park and wait at curbside for an arriving passenger.
The passenger must be at curbside waiting for the driver. Any unattended
vehicles will be towed immediately.
If you are picking up passengers and you arrive early, you can park in the
airport's 45-minute waiting area, which is just beyond the E-470
overpass on inbound Peña Boulevard. For safety, drivers must stay
in their cars in the waiting area. When passengers arrive and contact
you, arrange to meet them at their airline door on Arrivals,
Level 4, and then drive to the terminal. Note: No public telephones
or restrooms are in the waiting area.
- All baggage and all vehicles are subject to search at any time.
- No unattended vehicles are allowed at curbside.
- Do not leave bags unattended. Unattended bags will be immediately confiscated
and may be destroyed. Report any unattended items to airport personnel
immediately.
