Tips for 40 min Connections
Double-check your flight is even scheduled that day, as frequencies at this small airport can be as low as one departure per route.
Arrive at the gate area early since there is minimal signage infrastructure for wayfinding compared to major hubs.
If connecting from an international arrival, keep your passport handy as you may pass through a manual immigration check with limited counters.
Food and lounge options are very limited, so plan to eat before you arrive if you have a longer layover.
Because this is a low-frequency airport, missed connections often mean waiting until the next day rather than the next flight.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
The entire airport operates from one compact terminal building, so all connections are made on foot with no shuttle or train required. International arrivals pass through passport control and may need to re-clear security if routed back through the departure hall, but domestic-to-domestic connections typically stay airside.
