Tips for 2 hr Connections
Since RSW is mostly an origin/destination airport, check that your connecting itinerary is even routed sensibly, as many 'connections' here are actually the result of limited direct service.
The single-terminal layout means no inter-terminal train or bus is needed, so budget mainly for walking and security line time.
Winter high season (December through April) brings the heaviest crowds and longer security waits due to peak snowbird traffic.
If arriving from Canada or another limited international route, allow extra time for Federal Inspection Station processing before reaching connecting domestic gates.
Concourses are close together, so gate-to-gate walks rarely take more than 10 minutes even from opposite ends of the terminal.

Low risk
Moderate
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
All gates are located within one linear terminal building along Concourses A through D, reached on foot from a single central security checkpoint. There is no train or shuttle system needed, and passengers connecting between domestic flights do not need to clear security again since all concourses sit past the same checkpoint.
