DIA Security Checkpoints
The west security checkpoint is the primary TSA PreCheck line, but it closes at 7:30 p.m, while the south security checkpoint closes for pre-check at 8:45 p.m. After 10 p.m., travelers with TSA PreCheck have to wait in the standard screening line, but will get a form for expedited screening once they reach the security check.
Wait times for standard and pre-check TSA security lines are shared online, but the airport recommends three options for getting through security faster: TSA PreCheck, Clear and making a reservation.
The airport used to have a security checkpoint on a bridge into the A gate area, but that checkpoint no longer operates. Passengers will have to go through security checkpoints on the west or south ends of the main terminal.TSA PreCheck at the west security checkpoint allows people to leave liquids and laptops in their bag. People can apply for TSA Precheck online ; enrollment requires an interview and a $78 fee for a five-year membership.Clear (which you’ve probably been offered to try for free as you approach security) gets people to the front of TSA lines by having them check in with biometric data at kiosks. It costs $200 a year. But while Clear gets travelers to the front of the line, it won’t get you through the security checks faster. It can be paired with TSA PreCheck, however.Travelers can also make appointments with Denver TSA security up to fourteen days before their trip to get through security faster.
