How To 'ASK A QUESTION' on the Glacier or Other TA Forums.Is that the only connection you can make? And if you do miss that connection is there another flight out that day? Are you a thrill seeker and love the adrenaline rush of just barely making it? I would think 32 minutes would be pretty tight for your luggage to make it to you connecting flight and there's nothing worse then not getting your luggage when you arrive at your destination. Depending on which terminal/concourse you fly into you may or may not make it. I thought the airport was pretty easy to navigate. I flew out of Billings into SLC and had to catch a connection to Puerto Vallarta. The main concourses are on the 2nd level and you have to walk to an area where there are escalators/steps to take you down to Concourse E. I think all Delta flights in and out of MT to SLC are on SkyWest but I could be wrong.Īll SkyWest flights fly in and out of Concourse E which is a ground level concourse where you walk down a big 'garage-like' corridor until you get to your gate and then you walk outside on the tarmack to your plane. I would imagine you'll be flying on SkyWest out of SLC into MT. If they think there's a chance you won't make the connection, they may reschedule you. And ask them if you miss your flight, how long you'd have to wait until the next flight, and what your chances of getting on it would be. Of course, I've had many other connections where I walked off one plane and the next one was just a gate or two away.Ĭan you call your airline and find out if both flights generally use the same concourse? If the gates are fairly close, you might be OK. Usually they start boarding a half hour or so before the scheduled departure time, and once they close that door (I think about 10 minutes before departure?), forget it, even if the plane is right there, they're not allowed to let you on.

The first flight arrived a little late, and it was on a very large jet which deplaned in one concourse, and then my connecting flight, on a very small plane, was at a gate in another concourse all the way at the other end of the airport. I haven't had a lot of experience in the Salt Lake City airport in particular, but I have missed connections in Chicago's O'Hare - granted, a bigger airport - with even about an hour between flights. Unfortunately, I would be a little concerned.
