I fly out of TUL; there is a sign that says it’s a 7 minute walk to A but if you’re a fast walker you can make it to your gate in half that or less. Agree it’s a tight connection; how soon the bus leaves after you arrive will probably be the main thing to worry about.

I've searched and not found the answer, and I'm hoping someone will take pity on me and let me know if you think I'll be able to make this flight scenario:
Flight arriving later this week from Tulsa into B21, which I understand is a bus gate. History for flight shows it normally arrives at least 10-15 minutes early and normally arrives at B21. A couple of times in the past week it has actually been at an A gate.
Flight to LHR scheduled to depart 40 minutes later from A21, though history shows it normally leaves late.
From what I understand, I'll have to walk from the plane through a tunnel to get to a bus which will actually take me to B21, and from there I need to walk to and through the B-A tunnel and then to A21.
Do I have a prayer of making that flight?
If it matters, I'm flying First/Business, so I should be off the arriving flight quickly.

Isn’t that more new concessions at concourse A east side is not open up yet? Burger King, P.F. Chang’s, Auntie Anne and else. They are not ready for that. They supposed to open up real soon.

I arrived into SLC a few weeks ago for the first time (I only fly about ten times a year to the US and then its mostly into LAX) and SLC is by far the best US airport I've seen so far. I found the SkyClub excellent.
Also the immigration coming from LHR was so smooth, there almost wasn't the need for my Global Entry.

I got to visit the SLC Delta Sky Club today and it was awesome, so was the overall SLC airport. There was a hard sell for a delta branded Amex card since the attendant noticed I had to pay for my guest's access using my Amex platinum card. 85,000 point bonus on any of the cards plus he offered to refund the $50 guest access fee. I've really enjoyed my first time flying with Delta and will go with them again if the price is right 👍
