Tips for 30 min Connections
Almost all flights are Allegiant point-to-point routes, so double-check whether your itinerary is actually ticketed as a single connection or two separate bookings.
Security and check-in lines are short outside of the few daily bank departures, but arrive early anyway since staffing is minimal.
There is no dedicated connections desk, so if you have a tight layover ask a gate agent immediately upon arrival for guidance.
The terminal is small with limited food and shops, so don't expect much to do during a long layover.
Because flight banks are infrequent, a missed or delayed connection can mean a wait of several hours for the next available flight.

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 small terminal building with a single set of gates accessed directly from one gate hold area, so everything is reachable on foot in a couple of minutes. There are no trains, shuttles, or inter-terminal buses because the entire airport footprint is walkable.
