According to EF, these are the MCTs for SLC:
For DL-DL connections:
D-D and D-I: 30 minutes
I-D and I-I: 55 minutes. Note if you're coming from a Canadian airport with preclearance, it's considered a domestic arrival and thus the 30 minute D-D or D-I connection time applies.
Generic online and offline:
D-D: 40 minutes
D-I: 1 hour
I-D: 1 hour
I-I: 1 hour
For DL-DL connections:
D-D and D-I: 30 minutes
I-D and I-I: 55 minutes. Note if you're coming from a Canadian airport with preclearance, it's considered a domestic arrival and thus the 30 minute D-D or D-I connection time applies.
Generic online and offline:
D-D: 40 minutes
D-I: 1 hour
I-D: 1 hour
I-I: 1 hour

CBP at SLC is very fast, and baggage delivery/customs as well. The whole process should take less than 30 minutes.

So should I be able to get off my plane from Paris and go threw CBP and customs and catch my flight to phx in the 55 minute layover or else I can choose a other returning flight with more layover time.

55 minutes should be fine if your inbound flight is on time. Any delay could affect you. It's always better to play on the safe side and chose a longer layover, so if you can chose one with a longer layover, go for it.

55 min CDG-SLC-PHX is more than enough time. Unless you want to hang out in the SkyClub, get a seat towards the front on the CDG-SLC segment and you'll be at your gate to PHX in no time.

I would personally go with a longer connection if something reasonable is available. If you're coming from BLR, that's a pretty large time change and a very long trip. The chance to eat something and stretch my legs after a long flight is, to me, worth a little extra time and :55 is awfully tight for an international to domestic connection, even if it's legal and at an easy airport for connections and immigration/customs.

So I am going to be doing a 32 minute connection at SLC. Both flights are on DL. One out of SEA to SLC. then from SLC to MEM.
Is this safe? I have been a bit tense about this, mainly because the one to MEM is the last one of the night and I could be stranded very easily there.

welcome to FT!
48 min should be plenty of time ... SLC is a very easy airport to negotiate, even if you're transferring between B and D concourses

48 minutes is plenty of time, even walking with a cane, which I have had to do a couple of times before. Always made it to the gate with time to spare after hobbling down the hallway between concourses. No worries, unless your plane gets in later. Then, you may have to do some jogging.

Hi Guys,
We have a flight booked from MSY to Calgary next March.
Initially we had a decent layover in SLC but now with flight changes it is just 33 minutes.
I called Delta and they said that the minimum is 30 mins so as far as they are concerned it is OK.
What do you guys think? I have never transited through SLC before and with a change from terminal 2 to 1 it sounds very tight to me.
Any help greatly appreciated.
