Latest airport reviews
We just returned from Portland to the SLC airport. What kind of engineers designed that place? It's a total disaster!!! Drove from SW Colorado to Salt Lake (6 hour trip) to have better airfare, but that will never happen again. My husband has a back problem and the long wait in security, then over a mile walk to get to our gate, without a cart to take us, was almost too much for him. No chairs to sit for a few minutes and regroup on the way. When flying back to SLC, the signage to baggage area isn't great and the long walk isn't any better. I wouldn't advise anyone to use that airport. The old one worked fine several years ago before they built this new one. This new one doesn't work for passengers. What a waste of money!
Give me a break. The airport is half done. The layout is good. I like the looks of the facility and it is a lot cleaner than most other large airports. The old airport, which I was pretty fond of was too small and had it's issues too. When the terminals are completed it will be even better. Yes the walk between terminal A and B is long, I know that it can be challenging since I have mobility issues myself, but there are services available, just be a little patient and ask for help. Security is not nearly the mess I have seen at other airports and all large airports have ridiculously busy times too. Most of the other problems will improve with time. Again, the airport is only half complete.
Hoping Breeze Airlines will add more routes out of Provo because I'd rather drive to Provo then go through the SLC airport mess. Might be pretty but not passenger friendly.
