Tips for 40 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.
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
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.
