"depressing, terrible airport"

(United States)

Not Verified | What a sorry excuse for airport! The fact that Delta uses this airport as an international hub is ridiculous. There are only a few gates that can handle wide body planes, so when there was a problems because of weather, our flight to AMS was hours late because the gate ready for this wide body was being occupied by two smaller planes. Both had to leave before our plane could move to the gate. I can't believe that this airport was upgraded recently. It is a good example of how behind the US is in terms of transportation. This is a terribly designed airport which degrades the whole system. Of course, the entire Utah Congressional delegation voted against the Biden infrastructure bill. It is also ugly. There is no art or color anywhere. It is a depressing, terrible airport.

"The new SLC airport almost killed me"

(United States)

Not Verified | The new SLC airport almost killed me. I'm 55 and fit, yet entered the airport and had the very last gate for SWA. I couldn't breathe at all with the SLC altitude and the 4 mile walk! It was unbelievable! My heart was pounding loudly, sweating because it's totally over heated! Why was this TORTURE airport allowed to be designed this way? Is this a joke? The architect hates his job?, and this appalling airport was his huge "F you!!!" to skiers and tourists? Grossly understaffed. The people responsible for approving this catastrophic disaster need to all be fired! Worst airport in USA!

"Worst luggage screening system"

(United States)

Not Verified | Worst carry on luggage screening system I’ve ever seen - seems designed to separate luggage from passengers and create long line on both pre-screening and post-screening sides. Long lines for tsa pre. Only airport where I must always take off shoes or belt at tsa pre. Ridiculous walk to gates from screening point. Snarky posters about how it’s “for my own good because doctors recommend 10,000 steps a day”

"Why pay extra money for a longer line"

(United States)

Trip Verified | The line at the Clear TSA checkpoint was longer than the TSA checkpoint line. This alone was unusual. Then I went over to the regular TSA line guided by a TSA agent which was clearly confused by the process too, explaining that the lady directing the lines did not work for TSA, but for the Salt Lake City Airport. Then that line became congested. Curiously the other line was now going quicker? I had no less than 15 people sent in front of me. When I commented to the line director she held me back in line. That is when I finally realized what the problem was. She stated she hoped I was joking because she was handling three gates or lines. There were only two lines, the woman could not manage two lines. I think people can take turns in line without help from a power hungry, incompetent, and rude person I have come across for a long time. I hope I don’t get put on a no fly list because of my comments. I fly out of and into the airport every week. Why pay extra money for a longer line.

"One of the worst airports"

(United States)

Not Verified | One of the worst airports. Tunnel shuttle never arrived and the long walk was awful because I'm on chemo and tire easily. No seating With chair backs before going in the tunnel.

"Worst airport ever"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Worst airport ever. If you have to catch a connecting flight make sure you have lots of time. The moving sidewalks are slow, gates are way far apart and forget it if you have to go from A to B concourse. The designers should have put more thought into moving people and less into making it a shopping mall.

"new terminal forces passengers to walk long distances"

(United States)

Trip Verified | The new terminal forces passengers to walk long distances. As construction continues there are not enough conveyors or ways to shorten the distances. For example, to make a connecting flight on Delta to a smaller airport, they require passengers to walk through long and steeply ramped tunnels (like hamster habitrails) to span between the actual terminal and a bus stop system. Passengers must be transported to a shuttle and then let out onto the tarmac to walk up another ramp to the plane. None of these spaces are heated. People with disabilities have to find assistance, and if you can locate help, the situation is still very difficult to manage. I walked more than a mile to go from my arriving gate in the far end of Terminal A to reach the plane gated at B30. I'm a senior citizen, in very good shape, but not everyone my age can walk that far in a hurry to depart on another flight. I live in a small city 200 miles to the north and will seriously consider driving instead of taking the Habitrail route next trip. In the old days the concourse for connecting flights was E and I thought it was like a Pit of Despair as it was noisy, not nearly enough seating, and forced passengers to walk long distances. This new terminal is worse on so many levels...still not enough seating, noisy, longer distances in unheated spaces, and just because they can... Delta had us walk to the very end of the bus Habitrail, past many closer gates that were not being used. Obviously they do not care about the customers and have no respect for them.

"The design of SLC is a joke"

(United States)

Not Verified | SLC airport is the worst airports I've ever travelled through, and my home airports are JFK, EWR and LGA. This airport is so horrible it makes me long for La Guardia. The design of SLC is a joke. The B gates are a LONG walk from ticketing and baggage claim. Not at all friendly to the elderly or people with disabilities. They keep saying "oh wait, the central tunnel is coming!". That's not going to help. There is no shuttle in the current master plan so people will still have to walk a half mile between the terminal and many of the gates. SLC airport is a travelers nightmare. If you can transfer in Denver or Las Vegas instead of using this abomination, do it!

"never experienced anything like this"

(United States)

Not Verified | While the new airport was beautiful it was sheer hell for an 85 year old traveler. Over two miles of walking. I’ve been in dozens of airports worldwide and never experienced anything like this. A train will come at some point. The terminal should never have opened with no internal transport system. Like most airlines nobody cares about the paying passengers. Shame on you.

"disaster of an airport"

(United States)

Not Verified | So sad to go from an old airport that had character and was functional to this disaster of an airport. The design, the artwork, the entire thing a waste of $4B. Sad.
