Tips for 1¾ hr Connections
Almost all traffic connects through Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Atlanta, or Charlotte, so your 'connection' at SHV itself is really just a short domestic hop.
The terminal is small enough that you can walk gate to gate in a few minutes, so tight layovers are less risky here than at major hubs.
Check in online or at the counter early, as staffing is light and lines can form quickly if a bank of flights arrives at once.
There is no international arrivals process here, so any international itinerary will actually be checked at your connecting hub, not at SHV.
If you have checked bags, allow a little extra buffer since SHV's small ground crew handles multiple flights with limited equipment.

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
SHV has one small single-level terminal with gates arranged along a short concourse, so there is no shuttle or train required. Passengers simply walk from one gate to another, typically in under five minutes, with no re-screening needed since all gates sit beyond a single security checkpoint.
