Is Delta the only airline that doesn’t require long hikes at SLC?

Uh...have you flown out of gate A1? Delta can be a hike as well.

I haven’t flown out of the new airport yet. Booking a flight and was curious.

Mrs Featerbottom

You are more likely to have a shorter walk if you fly Delta.

Thanks!

This is an odd take, but I like the hike when I get home

TSA precheck is a game changer. Highly recommend it

Same. I’ve also only flown out of A25 and I think A19 so far.

The new airport us so poorly designed. They ruined what used to be a very

It isn't designed for the passenger to have a shorter walk. See my post below

Yeah, I know. They sacrificed passenger experience for airline operations. They

Ok. I hear so many complaints about an extra walk at a brand new, state

It's not a great design for passengers. It just isn't. We need to at least be

You just won't be pleased. This is how most new airports are designed.

I’m pretty sure Detroit has a transport at least it did a decade ago

Yeah, just for concourse A

The designs SUCKS for passengers, period.

For the lazy ones that hate walking for more than 20 min.

2/28/21 12:18pm

I’m a long distance runner and not lazy. It makes it easy to miss a flight, and

In that case fly into Provo. It’s quick and easy.

Unfair comment. Hardly any flights in and out of Provo. Also, I don't live in UT

You make a good point. And ironically if we had more flights it would make the

True, but Provo could sustain 25x more flights and it would still be great

My biggest and perhaps only complaint is security. Those stall things where your belongings are loaded onto suck and

Zach Morris

Yes! Security bins are the worst. The TSA agents hate them (that I've spoken to)

The old system was much better. Sadly most people think new or “innovative” means better but there are plenty examples

I don’t know I’ve been to a large airport that is “convenient”. Ever.

I've only flown once in the last year and it was Delta from the B terminal.

The parallel concourse setup is going to lead to some long walks. The airport is

I've gotten to where I purposely park in the back of every parking lot.

Yep it is pure BS. It’s the opposite of convenient.

RUNBYU1

It seems all new airports are designed for airlines, not the passengers.

Efficiency for airlines means lower ticket prices. Most passengers are buying
