Yes, SLC is an evil scheme by DL to make you walk an extra 5 minutes.

Current - belonging to the present time; happening or being used or done now

Example: The OP is currently posting vociferously because they currently have a problem with how the current connector tunnel is being used.

Where did you read that there will not be a train or moving walkway (APM)?? While the train is not mentioned in the factsheet there will be 4 moving walkways (they will all be designed so that only customers with DL boarding pass can use them).

• West Tunnel connecting concourses-3 elevators, 3 escalators, 3 moving walkways

• Connector to Gateway: 4 elevators, 2 escalators, 4 moving walkways

To quote yourself: I do not think it means what you think it means.

When I flew into DEN on DL I could only take the train. When train broke down. I could not get to Denver. That is pretty big penalty. Not building a people tunnel was a deliberate design decision. May not have been deliberate to penalize customers not flying UA but penalized they got.

Enjoy the day I am off for a walk about.

When DEN 2.0 was built, the A concourse was going to house the Denver hub for CO. It is the only concourse reachable by foot. CO decided to de-hub DEN due to high costs compared to Stapleton.

UA in concourse B always required use of the train.

DL operates out of B now, and that will continue even after the build is complete so what is the point of this thread? Don't visit SLC because it will take 5 more minutes to exit the terminal than it did in the past? The new terminal is so much more efficient from an aircraft movement perspective that it will cut gate holds immensely so it's probably a wash, except for your poor legs.

Absolutely. At PHL the walking distance from the farthest gate in terminal A to the farthest F gate is about 1.25 miles (just over 2km). Granted there are shuttle buses from A to F.

However, if you have a late night arrival into the high numbered A gates the exit from terminal A is frequently closed and they deliver bags at the B/C carousels. This means a walk to the B terminal exit and over the "bridge" to baggage claim. That's about 3600 feet. I've walked it many times, along with many even longer walks at other airports.

So it's yet another public structure built without regard for those with mobility issues.

No: I suspect the OP flew on Concorde JFK-LHR (“speedbird2”)
on 28th August 2003 (“030828”)
and sat in seat 7A for their journey…

and presumably are proud of having done so which would explain why they chose this specific screen-name

Use a wheelchair.

And at altitude....

Not when completed: https://slcairport.com/thenewslc

Delta's own T4 at JFK is more than 1km from TSA alone to the farthest gates.
Yes, the SLC walk is annoying but it isn't some sort of crazy deviation from the norm in modern airports.

LOL, hey, I went through SLC this summer on DL flights (LAS-SLC-SEA), and got to experience the “delights” of walking through that tunnel on a short connection.

So it’s not just non-DL pax. DL flights do show up in other concourses.

Also, try an LAX international flight connection where you arrive at TBIT and the outbound is T6 sometime.

They always flew Delta. ;)

If you weren't being purposely dramatic when you proposed murdering people, I'm genuinely concerned.

They flew Seagull Air until Morris Air replaced them. :D
