Denver International Airport officials say they are ready for spring breakers and are expecting an increase in travelers over last year during the first busy travel season of the year.

The airport estimates that from March 13 to March 29, more than 1.2 million passengers will pass through the airport’s security checkpoints. Friday, March 14, Sunday, March 16 and Friday, March 21 will be the busiest days, with more than 80,000 passengers passing through security daily.

Here are the all-time busiest travel days from DIA’s release:

• July 7, 2024 – 93,591 passengers screened (busiest day on record)

• July 21, 2024 – 89,421 passengers screened

• July 16, 2023 – 88,684 passengers screened

Passengers are encouraged to arrive inside the airport at least two hours in advance of their boarding time to ensure they have plenty of time to check bags, travel through security and arrive at their gate. There is the potential for longer security lines, especially during peak times, which are 3 a.m. to 4:30 a.m., 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

DIA has a wide range of services and advice on how to ease travel complications on its website.
