Tips for 30 min Connections
Almost nobody actually connects at ABY itself — your real connection will happen at Atlanta (ATL), so plan your buffer there rather than here.
The terminal has only a few gates within sight of each other, so there is no risk of a long walk even with a short layover.
Check in early since the airport has limited staffing and only a few flights operate per day.
There is no need to worry about re-clearing security between flights since ABY has a single checkpoint serving the whole terminal.
If you're departing from ABY, arrive with normal buffer since the small staff and single check-in counter can slow things during the two daily departure banks.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses

There is no shuttle, train, or interterminal bus because there is only one terminal, and no re-screening is ever required since passengers pass through one checkpoint for all flights.
