A passenger reported the crew indicated an asymmetric leading edge slat deployment. An off duty captain in the cabin was asked to visually check the flaps configuration, in the end it was decided to not change the current flaps configuration and commence the approach at about 20 knots above normal landing speed.
The aircraft, scheduled direct from Atlanta,GA to Salt Lake City had diverted to Dallas Ft. Worth,TX (USA) for a safe landing about 2 hours past scheduled landing time in Salt Lake City due to the closure of Salt Lake City Airport due to poor weather and a runway excursion, see Incident: Air Transport International B752 at Salt Lake City on Dec 19th 2013, runway excursion after landing. The aircraft continued to Salt Lake City after about 2.5 hours on the ground in Dallas.
