Travelers should expect Saturday, July 3, and Monday, July 5, to be the busiest with more than 200,000 people traveling each day through the airport.
DIA officials remind flyers masks are still required by federal mandate which expires on Sept. 13.
Travelers are encouraged to keep tabs on their flight and check flydenver.com for parking availability.
