Tips for 35 min Connections
Confirm your itinerary is a true single ticket, since AZA has very few genuine same-day connections and most passengers must exit security and re-enter.
Security lines are almost always short, so arriving with a modest buffer is usually enough even during peak Allegiant departure banks.
There is no interterminal transit system needed — just walk, since the whole airport is one compact concourse.
Double-check gate assignments on the departure board near the single checkpoint, as gate changes can happen with little notice in the small space.
If you have a long layover, the terminal has limited food and shopping, so consider stepping outside to nearby Phoenix-Mesa Gateway area amenities.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
AZA has one small terminal with a single concourse, so there is no train, shuttle, or bus needed between gates. All gates are reachable within a few minutes on foot, and there is no separate international arrivals facility requiring re-screening in the typical sense since the airport handles almost exclusively domestic and limited international charter traffic.
