ABOUT DEN
Jeppesen Terminal at DEN features 2.6 million square feet of space and includes passenger ticketing, baggage claim, ground transportation, international arrivals, shops and restaurants, office areas and the TSA security checkpoints.
Jeppesen Terminal’s internationally recognized peaked roof, designed by Fentress Bradburn Architects, is reflective of snow-capped mountains and evokes the early history of Colorado when Native American teepees were located across the Great Plains.
DEN’s Jeppesen Terminal is the airport’s only terminal. It’s a huge structure with 2.6 million square feet of space, covered by a 240,000 square foot tent roof. Here’s a description of what’s on each public level to help you find your way.
It is located one level below the baggage claims. You can access Level 4 via handy elevators, escalators and even by stairs for the more-adventurous travelers.
It’s good to remember that even-numbered doors are on the west side of the Jeppesen Terminal and odd-numbered doors are on the east side.
Level 5 is where you’ll find airline check-in and ticketing, baggage carousels, taxi cabs, ride share services and rental car and hotel shuttles. It’s also where you’ll access the Westin Denver International Airport and the escalator that takes you to RTD buses and trains.
Baggage carousels, numbers 1 – 9, are found on the east side of the Terminal. Numbers 10 – 19 are found on the west side.
Level 6 is where you’ll find airline check-in, baggage check and access to the East and West security screening areas.
For many travelers, Level 6 is where their journey through DEN begins. It’s where you’ll check your bags and confer with your airline prior to boarding.
