Tips for 35 min Connections
Genuine airline-to-airline connections at LAL are extremely rare since Allegiant is essentially the only scheduled carrier and flights are point-to-point.
If you do have a same-airline same-day itinerary through LAL, allow extra time since there is only one small check-in and security area serving all flights.
The terminal is tiny, so once through security you are steps from every gate.
Ground transportation and rental cars are limited, so confirm arrangements in advance if you need to leave the airport during a long layover.
There are minimal food and shopping options, so bring your own snacks if facing a wait.
