Tips for 50 min Connections
GSO has only one small concourse, so gate-to-gate walks rarely take more than five minutes.
There is no dedicated international arrivals process, since GSO has no scheduled international flights.
Security lines are typically light except during early morning and late afternoon banks tied to hub connections.
Because GSO isn't a true hub, most itineraries routed through it are simple single-connection trips with generous layovers built in by airlines.
If your first flight is delayed, GSO's small staff and limited flight options mean rebooking can take longer than at bigger airports.
