  "connection_tips": "Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) in Ahmedabad is a major Indian gateway with both domestic and international traffic, and the transfer experience is built around that mix. The airport is in Hansol, about 9 km north of central Ahmedabad, and the official airport information describes four terminals, 45 parking bays, and a 3,505-metre runway. That makes AMD a busy, modern airport, but not one where you should assume a fast cross-terminal move without checking your route first.\n\nThe airport's transport options are broad and fairly organized: app-based cabs, prepaid taxis, rental cars, and an airport bus route that reaches the airport area from the Sardar Nagar Approach side. The inter-terminal electric shuttle between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 is complimentary and has designated pickup points at both ends, which is useful if your itinerary changes between domestic and international sides. The airport also publishes services such as self-baggage drop, baggage trolleys, forex, medical help, Wi-Fi, and meet-and-greet, so the facility is better set up for managed transfers than for improvisation.\n\nBecause arrivals can involve immigration, customs, baggage reclaim, and separate terminal processing, travelers should budget time rather than trying to sprint through the airport. If you are connecting from an international arrival to a domestic departure, the transfer can be smooth when everything lines up, but the safest approach is to follow the posted shuttle and baggage instructions rather than relying on intuition. AMD is well served, but it is still a large, regulated airport with the usual Indian security and processing steps that reward advance planning.",

  "terminal_info": "Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) is a major aviation hub in western India, serving the city of Ahmedabad and the state of Gujarat. As the busiest airport in the state, it plays a critical role in connecting the region's significant industrial and cultural centers with the rest of the world. The airport features two primary passenger terminals: Terminal 1, which is dedicated to domestic flights, and Terminal 2, which handles all international services. A newly constructed Terminal 3, inspired by Singapore's Changi Airport, further enhances capacity. The terminals are well-equipped to manage a high volume of traffic from leading carriers such as IndiGo, Vistara, SpiceJet, and numerous international airlines.\n\nThe passenger experience at AMD is defined by its modern infrastructure and comprehensive amenities. Terminal 2, the international gateway, is a multi-level facility with spacious check-in halls, a centralized security checkpoint, and numerous departure gates. For passenger convenience, the physically separate domestic and international terminals are connected by a 1,640-foot moving walkway and a complimentary shuttle bus service. Navigating within each terminal is straightforward, with clear signage in both English and Gujarati. Post-security, travelers have access to a wide array of duty-free shops, restaurants, and comfortable seating areas, as well as premium facilities like 'The Lounge' in both terminals, which is accessible to eligible passengers.\n\nOperational efficiency and passenger comfort are central to the airport's design. Managed by Adani Airports, AMD has implemented several digital initiatives, including the Digi Yatra program for contactless check-in and the Adani One mobile app for booking services like lounge access and pre-paid taxis. The airport also offers essential services such as 24/7 medical assistance, baggage services, and free Wi-Fi. For travelers with special needs, the Pranaam service provides personalized assistance, ensuring a smooth and dignified journey through the airport. These features underscore AMD's status as a modern and customer-focused international gateway.",
