Tips for 1¼ hr Connections
Since IAG has essentially no scheduled connecting itineraries, double-check that your booking isn't routing you through here in error, as most travelers fly point-to-point via Allegiant.
If you do have a rare same-day turnaround, the whole terminal is walkable in under five minutes, so arrive with normal domestic buffer rather than hub-airport padding.
There are very limited food and shopping options past security, so eat before you arrive if you have a longer layover.
Flight frequency is low (often just a few departures per day), so a missed or delayed connection could mean waiting until the next day for another flight.
Because Allegiant operates most flights here, connections to other airlines are not typically sold as through-itineraries — plan for separate tickets and full re-check if combining carriers.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
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
The entire airport is a single small terminal building with a handful of gates just steps from security and check-in, so there is no shuttle, train, or bus needed between any areas. There is no true international arrivals or connections infrastructure since IAG has no international service, so re-screening scenarios simply do not apply here.
