Tips for 1½ hr Connections
Adelaide's single-terminal layout means you never need transit trains or shuttles, just a walk.
If arriving internationally, budget extra time for immigration and customs before you can reconnect airside.
Domestic-to-domestic connections are quick since gates are close together and security lines are usually short.
Avoid tight connections during early morning or early evening banks when Qantas and Virgin Australia flights cluster.
There is no need to recheck bags for many domestic-domestic transfers if checked through, but confirm with your airline.

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
All operations run through a single integrated terminal building, so connecting passengers simply walk between gate areas, typically 5-10 minutes at most. International arrivals must pass through immigration and customs before re-entering the main terminal, and all passengers connecting onward face standard security screening unless already cleared airside.
