๐ข Terminal Information
Salt Lake City International Airport opened its revolutionary 'New SLC' terminal in 2020, replacing five aging concourses with two modern linear concourses (A and B) totaling 78 gates. Delta Air Lines dominates as the fifth-largest hub, operating 70% of flights with all 47 gates in Concourse A, while Concourse B houses 31 gates for other carriers. The temporary 1,200-foot Mid-Concourse Tunnel (accessed between gates A13-A15) connects the concourses underground, avoiding security re-clearance for domestic connections, with the permanent Central Tunnel with trains opening October 2024 to significantly reduce the famously long trek to B gates.
The three-level terminal features centralized security after check-in counters on Level 3, with TSA PreCheck and CLEAR Plus lanes on the left side, plus expedited Touchless ID lanes for Delta SkyMiles members. Level 2 houses security and baggage claim, while Level 1 handles international arrivals. Walking times vary considerably with moving walkways throughout, and The Plaza area after security offers extensive dining and shopping before concourse access.
Premium amenities include two Delta Sky Clubs - the flagship 34,000-square-foot location in Concourse B accommodating 600 guests with Utah-inspired design and unique 'Dirty Soda' bar, plus a Concourse A location. Future additions include an American Express Centurion Lounge and United Club (opening 2026). Dining features 22 options in Concourse A alone, highlighting Utah establishments like Cafe Rio, Red Rock Brewery, Salt Lake Brewing Co., and Squatters Pub alongside national chains. Shopping includes duty-free, Utah Jazz Pro Shop, local gift shops Giftology and The Atrium, plus Deseret News storefront. The remaining 24 gates open in phases through October 2026.

The airport operates from a single, modern terminal building characterized by its Pueblo-style architecture and efficient design. Its layout is straightforward and integrated, featuring clearly defined zones for check-in, security screening (operated by TSA), and departure gates, all conveniently located within the same structure.
