  "connection_tips": "Augusta Regional Airport is a straightforward commercial airport, but good connections there depend on ground-transport planning as much as airline timing. The airport's own transportation pages show extensive on-site rental car coverage, hotel shuttles, taxi cabs, and parking with 30 minutes free in the short- and long-term lots. That is useful because AGS serves both the Augusta metro area and a heavy flow of event traffic, particularly around the Masters, when road demand and hotel pressure rise sharply even if the terminal itself remains relatively simple.\n\nIf you are connecting onward by air, remember that AGS is still a regional airport rather than a fortress hub. Airline-specific guidance from American notes that its ticket counter opens two hours before departures and closes 45 minutes before departure, so travelers on early or tightly timed itineraries should not assume large-airport staffing patterns. TSA PreCheck is available, but there is no lounge network or big-airport recovery depth if weather or equipment issues disrupt the schedule.\n\nFor landside connections, use the airport's own transport pages rather than guessing. Official AGS information lists rental car counters, hotel shuttle support, and parking rules, and it explicitly warns against leaving a vehicle unattended at the curb. That matters during busy periods when pickup traffic stacks up. In short, AGS is easy to use if your plans are organized: book your car or shuttle early, allow extra road time during major events, and do not treat a regional-airport schedule as if it offered the same recovery options as Atlanta or Charlotte.",

    "During Masters week, lock in all ground transport well before arrival."

During Masters week and other peak event periods, build in more buffer than the terminal's easy layout suggests, because curbside traffic, rental car demand, and rebooking pressure all rise sharply even when the concourse itself looks calm.",

  "missed_connection_help": "If you miss a connection at AGS, see the airline before exiting because the best solution may be a protected later flight, a reroute through a different hub, or a same-day drive strategy arranged around Augusta-area demand. Event periods can dry up replacement seats quickly, so ask specifically about baggage status, standby priority, and whether the carrier can move you through another regional gateway without breaking the ticket.",

  "terminal_info": "Augusta Regional Airport at Bush Field (AGS), commonly known as Bush Field, serves as a modern and efficient gateway to the Central Savannah River Area and the city of Augusta, Georgia. Located approximately 11 kilometers south of downtown Augusta, the airport is especially well known as the main arrival point for visitors attending the annual Masters Tournament. Outside the tournament period, it functions as a streamlined regional airport with domestic service through airlines such as American and Delta.\n\nThe airport features a single two-level terminal designed for simple navigation. The ground floor houses airline check-in, baggage claim, and rental-car desks, while the upper level contains the TSA checkpoint and the departures area. Travelers will find a compact selection of food, retail, and seating areas, along with displays that highlight local art and culture.\n\nDuring Masters week, AGS scales up significantly with extra flights, heavier passenger volume, and more structured ground transportation arrangements. That seasonal surge is a defining part of the airport's operations and shapes both planning and local traffic patterns around the terminal.",
