Tips for 25 min Connections
Nearly all itineraries through JAN connect at a larger downstream hub like Atlanta, Dallas, or Charlotte, not at JAN itself.
The single concourse means gate-to-gate walks are under five minutes, so tight layovers are rarely a physical challenge here.
There is no international arrivals facility, so any international travel routes through a US hub first, not through JAN.
Check-in and security lines are minimal outside of early morning and evening banks tied to the few daily hub flights.
If you have a long layover, the terminal has limited dining options, so plan accordingly.

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
JAN has a single small terminal with all gates accessible by a short walk down one concourse, so there is no need for trains, buses, or shuttles. There is no re-screening between gates since all gates sit past the single security checkpoint.
