AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
ACT has only a few daily American Eagle departures to DFW, so gate changes and long walks are not a concern.
There is no real need for tight connection planning here since almost all passengers are originating or ending their trip in Waco.
If you are technically connecting through ACT to reach another regional flight, check in with the single ticket counter as staffing is minimal outside of peak flight banks.
Security lines are typically very short, but the checkpoint may close between flight banks, so arrive during posted operating hours.
Because ACT feeds DFW, most travelers' real connection risk is at DFW, not at Waco itself.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
There is only one small terminal with a handful of gates just steps from the single security checkpoint, so all movement is on foot. There is no shuttle or train because the entire terminal can be crossed in under five minutes.
