I'm supposed to fly out of DIA tomorrow. Assuming there is not another blizzard, how early should I go?

Question

Hmm - i guess I should ask has anyone actually been out to DIA in the last couple of days?

Answer 1

Call the airline tonight for flight confirmation and check with them about how long before the flight you need to check in. They have different guidelines for different airports and airlines.

Answer 2

International flights require you to be there 3hrs before flight time - to clear customs & immigration, security, etc. Local flights require only 2hrs to be there before flight time but since it's the holidays, you probably should be there a bit early. DIA has a pretty good airport system but you will never know how long the lines will be for the day of travel - plus you have to take the train to go to the gates. Maybe you should take that in consideration, too. Have a safe flight.

Answer 3

I always try to be at DIA 1-1.5 hours before the flight. The earlier the flight the earlier I try to get there because there is not much staff working and if there is a problem the lines are very, very slow which can cause you to miss potential flights. It is supposed to snow in Denver tomorrow afternoon and it could be another big one.....Good luck!

Answer 4

The TSA suggests that you arrive at least two hours prior to your flight for domestic flights. If you are traveling international I would say at least three hours. This is a very busy time of year for travel and you want to give yourself plenty of time to get through security, etc...

Hope this helps and have a great flight

Answer 5

Spend the night in the Airport like everyone else.

Answer 6

As early as possible.
