Denver Security Checkpoint hours
Do Den Security checkpoints close up shop early? I have a 12:50am flight scheduled. Want to make sure I don't show up to a closed checkpoint, I have had that happen in some smaller airports.

There are three security checkpoints. Colorado Flag Security (there is a big Colorado State Flag in that vicinity), US Flag Security and the security towards A gates.

After around 8:30 to 9:00PM, the Colorado Flag Security and A gates close up leaving only the US flag security open until the last flights for the day leave. Just be ready for the nude-o-scope as they force everyone to go through that during that time of the night. I guess it provides the TSA with late night entertainment

How early should one arrive at the airport curb for a midnight CO flight leaving from a B gate (online check-in and no checked baggage)?

Or rather, how late can I safely arrive?

Thanks in advance...

A related question: how early can one get in for a 6 am flight?

I believe I've arrived at the airport at ~4am before, with no issue. I can't imagine needing to be there before that.

To answer my own question, I arrived at 10:30pm which gave me plenty of time to make the (long) walk to the only open security gate (a note for others -- if you don't need to visit the ticket counter or check bags with your airline, get dropped at the north end, I think it is, of the the terminal), take the inter-concourse train, and the long walk to the end of the B gates concourse, reaching the gate just after 11pm.

I could have left it another 20 mins, but I think this was the right time to arrive.
