Denver International Airport Jeppesen Terminal Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Denver’s Jeppesen Terminal is a long, mirror-symmetrical landside hall with a central atrium spine and two curbside halves (Terminal West and Terminal East) that look nearly identical inside Denver’s main airport hub. Departures processing now “lives” on Level 6 along the perimeter walls, while Level 5 functions as landside circulation (baggage claim, international arrivals, ground transport). The biggest time traps are door-number choices and the north-end security block where East vs West and Entrance 1/2/3 decisions lock you in.
| Level | Primary Function | Critical Nodes | Door / Side Logic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Departures curb + check-in + security | East Security / West Security; Entrance 1/2/3 | 600–603 expedited zone; 605–606 restricted/premium zone |
| 5 | Great Hall landside circulation | baggage claim; international arrivals (north); commercial ground transport | no airside access; cross-terminal walk zone |
| 4 | Arrivals private pickup + AGTS station (separated zones) | pickup doors; train platform access | pickup “sweet spot” 405/407; doors 400–416 (W) / 401–417 (E) |
Denver International Airport (DEN) — Jeppesen Terminal Map Strategy
- Treat door numbers as the first commit point: 600–603 puts you in the expedited orbit (PreCheck/CLEAR at Entrance 3); 605–606 pushes you toward restricted/premium or longer standard approaches.
- Choose East vs West before you enter the building: the sides are symmetrical, but the wrong curbside half forces a cross-atrim walk through the busiest circulation zone.
- Lock onto “Entrance 3” at the north end for PreCheck/CLEAR: West Security 3 sits by Doors 600/602; East Security 3 sits by Doors 601/603—anything else is a backtrack penalty.
- Don’t gamble on shortcuts: Level 5 cannot get you airside, and Concourses B/C have no walking route—AGTS is mandatory, with the post-security triple-escalator funnel as the crowd-stack choke point.

In 2025, Jeppesen Terminal’s passenger flow is built around the Level 6 security checkpoints: West Security (opened Feb 2024) and East Security (opened Aug 2025). The former Level 5 North/South checkpoints are permanently decommissioned, so any “South Security / North Security” habit routes you into dead ends and construction walls. Use a Level 6 map that labels Entrance 1/2/3 and door-number targets (600–603 vs 605–606) because construction shifts the queues, not the commit points.

What is the exact map location of the TSA PreCheck entry point inside Jeppesen Terminal (the point where the dedicated PreCheck queue physically begins)?
The TSA PreCheck queue physically begins at Security Entrance 3 on Level 6, at the north end of Jeppesen Terminal, immediately beside the low-600 door vestibules. On the West side, that start point is West Security 3 next to Doors 600 and 602; on the East side, it’s East Security 3 next to Doors 601 and 603.
Use the door-number rule to hit the correct spot without hunting through stanchions: enter at Door 600/602 (Terminal West) or Door 601/603 (Terminal East), then follow the “Entrance 3” overhead signs into the north-end checkpoint block. If you enter farther south (higher door numbers), you’ll pass standard-lane entrances first and may have to backtrack 300+ feet to reach the PreCheck start.
What is the exact map position of the CLEAR queue start relative to the standard PreCheck queue start (the first divergence point where you must choose)?
The CLEAR queue start is co-located with the PreCheck start at Security Entrance 3 on Level 6, so you don’t choose CLEAR vs standard PreCheck at a different map point. On Terminal West, both services feed from the West Security 3 entry zone by Doors 600/602; on Terminal East, they feed from East Security 3 by Doors 601/603.
The first true divergence happens at the document-check podiums or immediately inside the stanchions after you enter the Entrance 3 queue corral. Aim for the same north-end “Entrance 3” doors first, then pick the CLEAR lane vs the regular PreCheck lane at the podium split—choosing earlier by walking to another entrance is the mistake that creates the backtrack penalty.
What is the exact map location of the first major signage decision point where travelers choose East vs West security (the earliest fork where a wrong turn costs >5 minutes)?
The earliest high-penalty fork is the Peña Boulevard split that forces “Terminal West” vs “Terminal East,” about 15.5 miles from the I-70 junction, where overhead green gantries assign left lanes to West and right lanes to East. Missing that commitment sends you into a full loop/recirculation pattern that typically costs 10–15 minutes before you can re-approach on the correct side.
Inside Jeppesen Terminal, the next practical commit point is the Level 6 curbside door-number choice because the expedited entrances cluster at the north end: low-600 doors (600–603) place you closest to Entrance 3, while higher door numbers (605–606) skew you toward other entrances and longer backtracks.
What is the exact walking distance (in feet/meters) from the center of Level 6 airline check-in counters to the nearest security checkpoint entrance?
Walking is about 528 feet (161 meters) from the Level 6 check-in area to the nearest security entrance, roughly a 2-minute walk at normal pace. The nearest entry is the north-end checkpoint block where the queue stanchions begin.
From the check-in counter spine, walk north toward the low-600 door zone, using Door 602 (Terminal West) or the matching north-end doors on Terminal East as your aiming landmark. The distance is effectively “one integrated space,” not a separate corridor: once you reach the north edge of the check-in lobby, you’re at the security queue footprint. If you start farther south near higher door numbers, the walk increases and can force a backtrack to reach the intended entrance.
What is the exact shortest route (by mapped corridor choice) from West curbside drop-off (Level 6) to the correct security entrance without crossing to the East side?
The shortest West-side route is Door 602 to West Security Entrance 3, staying entirely on Level 6 Terminal West. Enter at Door 602, turn left toward the north end, and feed directly into the West Security 3 entry zone (PreCheck/CLEAR); for standard screening, stay in the same north-end block but bear slightly right toward the West Security 1 standard-lane entrance.
- Door 602 (Level 6, Terminal West)
- Immediate left turn after the vestibule, walking north along the west perimeter edge of the check-in hall
- West Security 3 (Entrance 3) for PreCheck/CLEAR, adjacent to Doors 600/602
- No atrium crossing required; remaining on the West wall avoids the symmetry-trap detour through the central Great Hall circulation.
What is the exact door number range on Level 4 that is closest to the central escalator bank (the one most people accidentally miss for pickups)?
The closest Level 4 pickup doors to the central escalator bank are Door 405 and Door 407. These doors align with the central core where the main escalators from Level 5 (baggage claim/Great Hall) deliver most passengers down to the “hidden” private pickup curb.
- Level 4 passenger pickup doors (Terminal West) span 400–416
- Level 4 passenger pickup doors (Terminal East) span 401–417
- Best meet-up point: 405/407 (center core alignment)
- Worst time-sinks: waiting at the extreme ends (around Door 400 or Door 416) because the driver must crawl the full curb length in congestion.
What is the exact shortest mapped route from the train station exit in the terminal to the Level 4 pickup doors (the path that avoids unnecessary level changes)?
It is not possible to walk from the Jeppesen Terminal train exit directly to the Level 4 pickup curb on the same level because the train-side Level 4 and the public pickup-side Level 4 are separated by secure infrastructure. The shortest mapped route is to go up to Level 5 first, traverse to the perimeter, then come back down to Level 4.
Exit the AGTS at Jeppesen Terminal Station (Level 4), take the long escalator up to Level 5 (Great Hall public side), walk to your chosen perimeter wall (West for Doors 400–416, East for Doors 401–417), then take the perimeter escalator/elevator back down to Level 4 and meet at Door 405 or Door 407 for the central-core sweet spot.
What is the exact map location of the AGTS train station entrance you reach immediately after exiting security (the first “you’re committed” funnel)?
The AGTS entrance is the triple-escalator bank (with adjacent high-capacity elevators) immediately past the Level 6 security exit, dropping directly down into the secure train platform level. This is the first “committed” funnel because stepping onto those escalators bypasses Level 5 entirely and feeds straight into the airside train system for Concourses B and C.
Look for the concentrated post-screening outflow area where both East and West checkpoint exits dump passengers into the same north-end circulation zone on Level 6. The escalators are less than a short walk from the exit lanes and are signed for train access to the concourses.
What is the exact distance from the security exit to the top of the down-escalators that feed into the train platform (the crowd-stack zone)?
Walking is less than 100 feet (about 30 meters) from the Level 6 security exit to the top landing of the down-escalators that feed the AGTS train platform. That very short gap is why crowds stack into the post-security re-composure area when trains delay.
The choke point forms where the security exit flow meets the triple-escalator bank at the north end of Level 6. If you want to avoid being pinned in the stack zone, clear the exit area quickly and move to the side before reorganizing bags, because there’s limited buffer space between the exit lanes and the escalator mouth.
What is the exact map location of the pedestrian bridge access point to Concourse A (the entrance point on the terminal side, before you’re on the bridge)?
The Concourse A pedestrian bridge access begins at the north end of Level 6, post-security, in the shared north-side circulation area between the East and West security exit flows. The terminal-side entrance is signed “A Gates – Walking Route” and stays on Level 6 as it extends northward over the taxiway.
From either checkpoint, follow overhead wayfinding toward A Gates immediately after you exit screening, before committing to the triple-escalator AGTS funnel. The bridge entrance sits in the same north-end zone as the train access, but it peels off on Level 6 rather than dropping down to the platform.
What is the exact map location of the re-entry point to Jeppesen Terminal after using the Concourse A bridge (where you land back in the terminal circulation)?
Re-entry from the Concourse A bridge lands at the north end of Level 6 through one-way automated exit lanes that deposit you back into Jeppesen Terminal’s public circulation. The landing zone is adjacent to the low-600 door area—near Door 600 on Terminal West and near Door 601 on Terminal East.
After the bridge, follow the one-way exit flow until you’re released into the Level 6 landside space; from there, the nearest vertical paths down to baggage claim are the Level 6-to-5 escalators/elevators in the north-end circulation area. You cannot freely reverse back across the bridge once you’ve exited.
What is the exact map location of the “expedited / premium” lane entrance (if shown) relative to the main standard queue entrance at the same checkpoint?
The expedited/premium entrance is Security Entrance 2 at each checkpoint, positioned at the south end of the checkpoint block, separated from the main standard entrance by the bulk of the standard lanes. On Terminal West it’s West Security 2 near Door 606; on Terminal East it’s East Security 2 near Door 605.
Use the checkpoint’s three-entrance layout as your map logic: Entrance 3 (north) is PreCheck/CLEAR, Entrance 1 (central) is standard, and Entrance 2 (south) is the premium/restricted/appointment-style entry. If you walk into Entrance 3 expecting premium access, you’ll be turned back and forced to backtrack to the 605–606 door zone.
What is the exact elevator bank (by map position) that connects Level 5 (arrivals/international processing area) up to Level 6 departures curb on the West side?
The best West-side vertical connection is the central core elevator bank at the atrium edge on Terminal West, with an alternate set of elevators near Door 606 on Level 6. This is the most reliable passenger path for moving from Level 5 (baggage claim/arrivals circulation) up to Level 6 departures without being pushed into door-vestibule detours.
From Level 5, aim for the central atrium core first (the main escalator/elevator cluster), then choose the West-side elevators within that core to reach Level 6 and emerge into the check-in spine. Avoid counting on far-north elevators by the low-600 doors because those are more likely to be impacted by phased operations or assigned-use constraints.
What is the exact corridor choice that gets you from baggage claim (Level 5) to the correct vertical path up to Level 6 airline check-in with the fewest turns?
The fewest-turn route is the central atrium path: walk from baggage claim on Level 5 toward the middle of Jeppesen Terminal (the Great Hall atrium), then take the main atrium escalators/elevators straight up to Level 6. That central vertical core deposits you directly into the Level 6 check-in spine without forcing perimeter zigzags.
From any baggage carousel, orient to the open atrium void (the unmistakable central hall), follow the flow to the main escalator/elevator bank, and ascend to Level 6. Using perimeter elevators near the exterior doors often creates extra turns around ground-transport queues or requires navigating vestibules and wall-hugging corridors before you reach the check-in counters.
What is the exact nearest restroom location to the start of the primary security queue (the place people stand for long periods), as shown on the terminal map?
The nearest restroom is on Level 6 Terminal West immediately to the right of the West security entrance as you face north toward the checkpoint, positioned just before the queue stanchions begin. It sits along the west-side check-in wall near the Alaska/Boutique Air counter zone.
Use the restroom before you enter the stanchioned queue corral because once you commit into the primary security line, there are no restrooms available again until after screening. If you’re approaching PreCheck/CLEAR at West Security Entrance 3, you’ll pass this restroom area right before the north-end queue footprint tightens.
