Tips for 1¾ hr Connections
JAX is not a true hub, so most itineraries routing through it are rare — double-check your routing if you see a JAX connection.
The single terminal means gate-to-gate walks rarely exceed 10 minutes, even between the farthest concourse ends.
If you have TSA PreCheck, the dedicated lane can cut security time to a few minutes even during peak periods.
Limited international flights (mainly to the Bahamas) go through a small Federal Inspection Station, so budget extra time if arriving from abroad.
Food and gate amenities are limited, so if you have a long layover, plan to eat before your first flight since options near far gates are sparse.
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
JAX has a single terminal building with two concourses, A and C, connected by a central atrium and corridor that passengers walk through directly. There is no train or shuttle needed anywhere in the airport, and security is a single central checkpoint serving both concourses, so domestic-to-domestic connections typically don't require re-screening.
