Tips for 45 min Connections
Gates are just steps from security, so the walk itself is never the bottleneck at JNU.
Flight frequency is low, especially outside summer, so a missed connection can mean waiting hours or overnight for the next Alaska Airlines flight.
Weather delays are common due to Juneau's mountainous terrain and marine climate, so build extra buffer beyond the stated MCT.
During the May–September cruise season, the terminal gets crowded with cruise-transfer passengers, slowing security lines.
There is no lounge or extensive dining, so plan connection time around the small gift shop and café near the gates.

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
There is only one terminal building with all gates accessible via a short walk from the single security checkpoint. No shuttle, train, or bus is needed, and there is no re-screening since arriving and departing passengers use the same small concourse.
