Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

Airport #21 of 100 · First visited 11 January 2010

SLC has recently opened a new terminal, built in stages where the old terminal used to be. The new facilities consist of two parallel concourses (A and B), with the landside terminal connected to the center of Concourse A – similar to Denver or Atlanta but with fewer concourses.

I last visited the old terminal in early 2020; a small portion of the new terminal was open, but my layover was in the old terminal and not long enough for me to visit the new facilities. By the time I visited the airport again in 2024, the old terminal was completely gone, and the new terminal was mostly complete; all of the new Concourse A and half of the new Concourse B were open. The central tunnel from A to B (which would connect near the security checkpoint) was not yet complete, so to get to my flights in Concourse B required a walk down to a temporary tunnel further away from the checkpoint.
