"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.

"falling apart in numerous places"

(United States)

Not Verified | The people who designed, approved, built and completed thus airport all need to be fired. This relatively new structure is already cracking and falling apart in numerous places. There are no trams, little to slow moving walkways and forced to do a death walk or run to you flights. Yes, the aisles are much wider but starting to be cluttered with bs to distract people from death walk and is now a bunch of hazards. All this space, no seating at gates still, just like slc before. Food is over priced, unlike advertising as faur market value. Nothing but lies, deception and a complete waste of tax payers money here. Too much area to clean, so they appear not to even care about all children feeding giant dust bunnies.

"Pure stupidity"

(United States)

Not Verified | Pure stupidity. The layout is horrible and makes no sense. How can a layout be so poorly designed? As soon as you walk in, you need to go down escalators and elevators to get to the gate.

"Absolutely worst airport ever"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Absolutely worst airport ever. I am a million mile and diamond medallion so have experience many airports. Whomever designed this airport should be fired. Do not design another. It is the most unused friendly airport I have been to. I try to avoid this airport at all costs. I would rather fly out of LAX. The walk is atrocious, then if you land in B terminal and want to visit the sky club you may need to be an Olympian to visit it and get back to the B terminal. I know they are still under construction but there has to be a better way to move people.

"the most ridiculous airport to fly into"

(United States)

Not Verified | This is the most ridiculous airport to fly into. You have to walk a mile to even get to baggage claim. The passenger pick up is even worse. Once you are outside, there is no where to cross to the pick up lane unless you are taking ride share or uber. You have to walk back inside and go up the escalator and across the bridge for regular pick up.

"Who in the world designed this airport?"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Who in the world designed this airport? And what were they thinking? I departed and landed at the far end of the B terminal and was shocked at how far away the airport exit and or entry was. Oh and did I mention that once you get through the departure gate you will go down ramps, ride a bus and then walk on more ramps before you even get to your plane! I know it's under construction but there must be a way that is a little more convenient for the passengers! I requested wheelchair assistance but no one was around, so I started to walk and walk and walk and walk. On arrival, I finally got to the end of the B terminal and figured baggage claim would be between B and A. Oh no, now you have to walk the entire length of the A terminal to get to baggage claim. If they are going to stick with this inadequate design during construction there really needs to be a better way to move people. All the nice shops and restaurants are irrelevant when most people are rushing to make the walk from hell in order to catch a flight. Driving looks much more appealing to me these days.

"employees are rude and impatient"

(United States)

Not Verified | The employees are rude and impatient. This was my first time flying on a plane by myself, my second time flying a plane in general. And of course, I was terrified. At the Baggage Check, the employee was not professional at all and made everyone feel very unsafe and scared by yelling "OKAY EVERYONE, THERE'S A LINE, NOW GET INTO THE LINE." there were only a few people in line. Of course, there were more people, but there were many more ways he could have responded in that situation. When my baggage was checked and cleared, I had to go pick up my baggage and put on my shoes. These employees also weren't great. All they were doing was making you feel slow and stupid. They all were yelling to go fast, there are people behind you, go faster, etc. At the airport that I departed to get into SLC airport, they were so kind, understanding, and sweet people. I never want to go to SLC airport again.
