  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Sabzevar National Airport (AFZ) requires an understanding of its role as a regional domestic feeder for the Razavi Khorasan Province. Most passengers using AFZ are either originating in Sabzevar or arriving from major hubs like Tehran or Mashhad. For those planning a connection to international destinations, it is crucial to recognize that AFZ itself does not host regular international commercial flights. Therefore, your connection will almost certainly involve a transit through Tehran Mehrabad (THR) or Imam Khomeini International (IKA), or potentially Mashhad International Airport (MHD), requiring careful coordination between your domestic and international legs.\n\nAllow at least 4 to 6 hours for these multi-airport transfers, especially if you need to change from Tehran Mehrabad (THR), which handles domestic flights, to Imam Khomeini International (IKA) for your international departure. This transfer involves a cross-city journey of approximately 50 kilometers through Tehran's often dense and unpredictable traffic. Building in this generous buffer is essential to account for baggage retrieval, taxi or shuttle transit across the city, and the mandatory international check-in and security protocols at IKA. Neglecting to account for these logistical layers can lead to missed connections and significant travel disruptions.\n\nOn-site at Sabzevar, the connection process is entirely manual and requires passengers to be self-sufficient. Since there are typically no interline agreements for these regional routes, you will need to collect your checked baggage upon arrival and check it in again for your onward domestic flight. Ensure you have all necessary travel documents and identification ready for inspection by airport security and airline personnel. The compact nature of the terminal makes the walking distances short, but the requirement to re-process through check-in and security means you should not attempt tight connections of less than 90 minutes.\n\nFor ground transfers within Sabzevar or to nearby regional towns, taxis are the most reliable option and are readily available outside the terminal hall. While car rentals are possible, it is strongly advisable to book these in advance to ensure availability upon your arrival. If you are staying in the city, the 12-kilometer trip to the center takes about 20 minutes by taxi for a reasonable fare. Always check the latest flight schedules, as regional frequencies can vary based on season and demand, and ensure you have sufficient Iranian Rial (IRR) for local expenses, as international credit cards are generally not accepted in the region.",

  "terminal_info": "Sabzevar National Airport (AFZ) is a vital regional gateway in northeastern Iran, located approximately 12 kilometers from the city center of Sabzevar. As a primarily domestic hub, it facilitates essential connections to major Iranian metropolises, most notably Tehran and Mashhad. The airport's strategic location serves the Razavi Khorasan Province, providing a convenient alternative to long-distance road travel for both business travelers and pilgrims visiting the region's historic sites.\n\nThe airport operates from a single, well-maintained terminal building designed to handle regional passenger volumes efficiently. While compact, the terminal is equipped with modern flight surface lighting systems, a significant feature that allows for safe night operations and flexibility in flight scheduling. Inside, passengers find straightforward check-in counters and baggage handling services. The layout is designed for simplicity, ensuring that travelers can navigate from the entrance to the departure gates with minimal effort.\n\nAmenities within the AFZ terminal are focused on core passenger needs. While it lacks the extensive luxury lounges found in major international hubs, it provides comfortable, air-conditioned waiting areas and basic refreshment options. Travelers can find essential services such as customs and passport control for occasional charter operations, along with dedicated parking facilities for short-term and long-term stays. The airport's emphasis on functionality makes it a reliable node for domestic travel in the Razavi Khorasan region.",
