Planning bullets

How to plan DEN PreCheck

DEN is checkpoint-speed first, then train time.

Any main-level checkpoint (Bridge, North, South, or A-Bridge) reaches every concourse, so pick the fastest line.

Bridge Security feeds Concourse A by walkway; B and C require the underground train.

Factor 6-10 minutes of train and walk time on top of the published wait when you are heading to B or C gates.

Checkpoint access

Which PreCheck checkpoint reaches your gate?

DEN says the East and West checkpoints access all airline gates. Concourse A is reachable by bridge or train, while B and C use the train.
