Tips for 30 min Connections
Both concourses share one security checkpoint, so once you're through, reaching either gate area is fast.
The underground tunnel between concourses has moving walkways that speed up the transfer.
RNO rarely sees long security lines outside of peak ski-season mornings and weekend afternoons.
Since there's minimal international service, most connections are simple domestic-to-domestic transfers with no re-screening.
Winter storms can cause de-icing delays, so build in extra buffer during ski season even though the airport itself is easy to navigate.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Concourse A and Concourse B are connected by a pedestrian tunnel beneath the tarmac, a walk of about 8-10 minutes at a relaxed pace. There is no train or shuttle needed, and no security re-screening between concourses since both sit past the same central checkpoint.
