International Arrivals

Departures Out Of Denver
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 use the passenger security screening checkpoint, called 'Bridge Security,' located on 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. U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) describes security screening and its airline travel policies are available at: www.tsa.gov.
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. You can recheck your baggage outside of the U.S. Customs area, and airline personnel will direct you to security screening and your departure gate. Baggage carts are available free of charge in the U.S. Customs area. All connecting passengers will need to be screened by TSA before accessing their connecting gate.
