Hard-to-find traveler answers

Six SLC details that prevent common airport mistakes

Priority help

The “The Walk” tunnel to Concourse B

Concourse B is connected to Concourse A via a long underground pedestrian tunnel equipped with moving walkways and art installations. Give yourself extra time if your gate is far down B.

Single unified terminal concept

Unlike old multi-terminal layouts, modern SLC features one massive central terminal building connected to Concourses A and B. You do not need to take shuttle buses between terminals.

Direct TRAX light rail connection

The UTA Green Line train connects the airport directly to downtown Salt Lake City and the wider valley without dealing with highway traffic.

Major Delta Air Lines hub

SLC serves as a primary western hub for Delta Air Lines. Peak banking hours can create busy security and check-in lines.

Cell phone lot on N. Temple

If picking up arriving passengers, use the dedicated cell phone waiting lot on North Temple rather than circling the terminal curbside.

High altitude considerations

Salt Lake City sits at an elevation of over 4,200 feet. Stay hydrated, especially if arriving from sea level before heading up to ski resorts.
