Tips for 1¼ hr Connections
Gates are close together, so even a tight connection rarely requires more than a five-minute walk.
Southwest operates a large share of flights here, so check for a gate change on the app rather than the board, as their schedule shifts frequently.
There is no interterminal train or bus — the entire airport is walkable in under ten minutes end to end.
Security lines are short outside of early morning and late afternoon banks, so precheck travelers rarely wait at all.
If arriving from a rare international flight, budget extra time since customs and border processing are minimal and rely on a small dedicated area.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Concourses A and B are connected by a single central hallway past security, so all transfers are on foot with no shuttle or train needed. There is no re-screening required for standard domestic connections since both concourses sit inside the same secure zone.
