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

That's a D-I connection, not I-D, so you're 50 minutes over MCT. You have plenty of time to make the connection.

Hi. Traveling DCA-SLC-PSP. DCA-SLC is on an Airbus A321neo. And then SLC-PSP is an Embraer 175 (dba SkyWest / Delta Connection. Can someone advise what terminals/gates I most likely will be arriving in and then departing from? Never been at SLC airport before so trying to study the map because I only have 50 minutes. Thanks!

Gate A16 ?
My arrival tonight into SLC shows Gate A16, but I can't find A16 on any Terminal Maps. They all seem to show A1 - A8 only. Am missing something? thanks!

You must be looking at maps of the old SLC Terminal. The new one (that opened in 2020) has gates A1-A25 to the west of the main entrance of the terminal and a couple of A gates with higher numbers to the east of it.

Thank you, That makes sense. Although every single map I'm finding via Google points to the old layout. Bizarre!

Also, wife had a 55 minute connection in SLC, but the first flight is 40 mins late. Oh well !! Perhaps they'll make up some time in the air, but does Delta ever hold the outbound connecting flights knowing that so many people are running late? (First flight was overweight and they needed 7 volunteers to jump off for $1,000.)

Sometimes, yes. Just because your flight is full doesn't mean that those people are all going to misconnect, they're not going to just hold all outbound flights. Generally a flight might get held if there is a large group from one particular late flight that would cause a large number of misconnects all going to the same place (e.g. harder to recover from) AND holding it won't cause any downstream issues (will this mess up a take off/landing slot? will crew time out? etc). They're not going to hold the flight for your one passenger.

Yes. All concourses are connected airside at DEN and there's nothing really special about international flights originating from US (no security/immigration screening). You will want to get your passport checked by an AM agent in DEN as they need to verify it is valid for at least 6 more months ("DOCS OK" check).
