- The Middle Ground: On an average day, you might encounter a sea of somewhere between 50,000 and 70,000 passengers. That's a whole lot of baggage (both literal and metaphorical) to navigate!
- Peak Season Palooza: Think summer adventures and holiday travel sprees. During these times, DIA can turn into a human avalanche (hopefully a bit less messy) with over 80,000 passengers in a single day. Deep breaths and noise-canceling headphones are highly recommended.
