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

My connection for LAX-SLC to SLC-OKC has been reduced to 33 minutes.
I would like to ride the E175 on to OKC, but I am not current on construction issues that I thought were in play now at SLC.
I could ask to switch to MSP for a better connection but then I am stuck with an RJ7. I doubt they would move me to an ATL connection with such a minor schedule change despite the online warning about missing my SLC connection.

For what it's worth, I made a two minute connection last Friday night (in reality they held the plane 12 minutes for us).
I think you'll be fine. It'll likely be no more than a ten minute walk between gates. With a group of 20, representing more than a quarter of the seats on your flight to MFR, on the last flight of the night, even if you're running a few minutes behind I think they're likely to hold the plane for you.

I have a 31 minute connection between SLC, heading to Cancun in June (all Delta). I understand that there is construction happening at SLC, but Delta is still showing my flight selection, with that 31 minute connection, as available to book when looking on their site.
Does this seem doable, even with the construction? Thanks.

Still generally true but construction is slowing things down. Not so much the landing/taking off part but navigating the ramps/taxiways. Some gates require very circuitous taxiing to get around all the construction. It will be nice when it's all done in ~5 years.

Even with construction haven't had issues. The new terminal will be open later this year not in five.

I noticed this thread has not been updated since the new terminal opened.
Has the minimum connection time changed at SLC? For those that have used the new terminal, what do you recommend for a domestic to domestic transfer on DL to DL?

Would you take a 1h12 min I-D connection at SLC these days? AMS-SLC-GJT. I reckon there wouldn't be much international traffic on this route. However, as GJT is a fairly regional airport, not many flights to/fro either

Anyone done Bus Gates recently?
Monday have a 30 min Connection.
Looks like incoming flight has always been going to B21 which I believe is a Bus gate
Outgoing has been mid A's
Could get interesting....

30 Minute Connection at SLC
I am looking at a flight from JAC to JFK. As I would like to spend as much of my day in Jackson the latest flight leaving when I go to book on Delta’s website shows a 30 minute connection in SLC. Is making such a connection realistic or am I asking for trouble here? It’s the last connection to NYC so if I miss my connection do I basically have to pay to stay overnight in SLC? What are the chances my checked bag actually makes it?
Any insight would be much appreciated… I’ve rarely had to fly anywhere with a connection and the few times I have it’s always been a 2+ hour one early in the day…
