As the spring travel season commences, Denver International Airport (DEN) is gearing up for a surge in passengers, anticipating a significant increase from last year’s numbers. Between March 13 and March 29, 2025, it is estimated that over 1.2 million travelers will pass through DEN’s security, marking an 8% rise from the 2024 spring season. Key travel dates, particularly March 14, March 16, and March 21, are expected to see upwards of 80,000 passengers each day.

Historically, some of the highest travel volumes at DEN were recorded on July 7, 2024, with 93,591 passengers, and July 21, 2024, with 89,421 passengers, underscoring the potential for busy days ahead. To avoid delays, travelers are advised to arrive at least two hours before their flights to navigate check-ins and security.

Here are some key pointers for navigating DEN during this busy period:

• TSA West Security Checkpoint on Level 6 is the primary entry for TSA PreCheck passengers, open from 4 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
• The TSA PreCheck at West Security 3 and CLEAR lanes at the same location cater to specific traveler needs.
• Standard security screenings are predominantly conducted at the South Security Checkpoint, operational from 3 a.m. to 1 a.m.
• Travelers can make reservations through DEN RESERVE for expedited security processing, available daily from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To ensure a smooth airport experience, passengers can also sign up for TSA PreCheck and CLEAR, check real-time security wait times online, and consider parking options like the Pikes Peak lot, which is expected to fill up quickly.

For those with extra time, DEN offers various dining, shopping, and entertainment options, including new eateries like El Chingon and entertainment zones like Golf DEN. For additional assistance, DEN Travel Assist offers personalized services to help navigate the airport efficiently.

Lastly, always verify flight statuses and parking availability before heading to the airport, and consider using the RTD A-line for convenient access to DEN.
