Be Prepared: A DIA Checklist

Passengers Should Arrive Three Hours Early

Before heading to DIA, be prepared for delays.

Passengers should arrive three hours before their scheduled departure time because of new security requirements imposed by the FAA as a result of the terrorist attacks earlier this week. The new rules include:

  • Only ticketed passengers will be allowed through security screening to go to the gates. Persons meeting arriving passengers should meet them at the appropriate baggage-claim carousel. Initially, only the south screening area in Jeppesen Terminal will be open for travelers.
  • Curbside check-in has been eliminated.
  • No knives of any kind are allowed through security screening.
  • No parking is allowed in the Terminal garages within 75 feet of the building; this will eliminate the Courtesy Parking on Level 4.
  • Absolutely no unattended vehicles are allowed at curbside. Unattended vehicles will be towed immediately.
  • All electronic devices (cell phones, pagers, personal assistants, etc.) will be x-rayed at security screening.
  • All vehicles entering the airport are subject to search. Checkpoints will be set up just before vehicles enter parking lots or garages.
  • Do not leave any baggage or belongings unattended.
  • Be sure to have a picture ID on your person at all times.
  • The airport strongly encourages you to avoid or limit carry on items.
  • Please be patient and courteous to all security personnel.
