Tips for 35 min Connections
Mobile Regional has only a handful of daily departures, so double-check your connecting flight actually exists as a same-airport itinerary rather than requiring a drive to another airport.
The terminal is small enough that you can walk from curb to gate in under 10 minutes, including check-in.
There are very limited food and shopping options, so don't expect much to do during a long layover.
If your connection involves American Eagle regional jets, gate agents are typically flexible about tight connections since the whole terminal is visible from any gate.
Rental car and ground transport counters are steps from baggage claim if your 'connection' actually means a missed flight and a drive to Pensacola or New Orleans instead.

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 with all gates accessible via a short walk down a single concourse, so no shuttle, train, or bus is needed. Passengers connecting between two flights on the same secure side simply walk from one gate to another in a couple of minutes; if a connection requires re-entering security after arriving on an international or ground-side flight, screening is quick due to low passenger volume.
