About SLC

The new facility features a single terminal with two parallel concourses (A and B), connected by an underground tunnel with moving walkways.

Insider Tips
The New SLC is stunning — arrive early to explore the architecture and local dining. As Delta's western hub, connections are excellent. During ski season (December-April), the airport gets very busy with skiers heading to nearby resorts (30-60 minutes away). SLC's altitude (4,227 ft) means aircraft need longer runways — this doesn't affect passengers but is an interesting fact.
