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.
