Tips for 35 min Connections
Almost all OMA traffic is point-to-point, so double-check whether your itinerary actually requires a connection here versus a nearby hub.
The single terminal means you never need to change buildings, so gate-to-gate walks rarely exceed 5-10 minutes.
Security is usually fast outside of early-morning banks, but plan for lines around 5-7 AM when most departures cluster.
There is no dedicated international arrivals facility, so any international connection should be treated with extra caution and time.
TSA PreCheck is available and can cut security time to just a few minutes even during peak periods.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
OMA has a single terminal building with two short concourses branching off a central security checkpoint and shared ticketing/baggage area. All gates are reachable on foot in a few minutes with no trains, shuttles, or airside buses required.
