Tips for 30 min Connections
MAF is tiny, so once you're past security you can see every gate from nearly any seat in the terminal.
Connections are uncommon here since most flights are point-to-point to hubs like Dallas, Houston, Denver, and Atlanta.
Food and shopping options are limited, so don't expect much beyond a small snack stand while waiting.
Because gate changes are rare and distances short, you can comfortably board even if your inbound flight arrives a bit late.
If flying regional jets, expect gate-checked bags to be delivered planeside rather than at a carousel.

Getting Between Concourses
MAF has a single small terminal with all gates accessible via one central concourse, so there is no need for trains, buses, or shuttles. Passengers simply walk between gates, and there is no security re-screening required for connecting domestic passengers since the whole terminal sits beyond a single checkpoint.
