Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Arrive 90-120 min early for domestic

Security averages 15 min; add buffer for peak mornings.

International or peak holiday: 2.5-3 hours recommended per airport guidance.

Terminal

Use tunnels or shuttles between A and B

Central and West Tunnels connect concourses post-security.

Long walks to far B gates; moving walkways and occasional shuttles available.

Food

New SLC dining post-security only

Wide variety in both concourses; pre-security options limited.

Focus on airside spots near your gate cluster to avoid backtracking.

Status

Delta elites and Amex Platinum get lounge priority

Sky Clubs and Centurion are the main premium options.

No standard Priority Pass lounges; Minute Suites via PP for nap/work.
