  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Kalimarau Airport (BEJ) is a straightforward domestic experience, primarily involving transfers between Kalimantan hubs or onward travel to the Derawan Archipelago. Most travelers arrive at BEJ via a short 50-60 minute flight from Balikpapan (BPN) or Samarinda (AAP). If you are connecting from an international flight in Jakarta (CGK) or Surabaya (SUB), it is essential to allow at least three to four hours for the transfer. You will need to collect your baggage at the major hub, clear any relevant security, and check in for your domestic leg to Berau. It is highly recommended to book your journey on a single ticket with carriers like Batik Air to ensure better protection in case of delays.\n\nGround connections from the airport to the various islands of the Berau Regency require careful planning. Upon arrival at BEJ, travelers typically take a taxi to the Tanjung Batu pier, which is a roughly two to three-hour drive from the airport. From the pier, speedboats provide the final leg to Derawan, Sangalaki, or Maratua. Many high-end eco-resorts in the area provide an integrated 'airport-to-island' transfer service, which is strongly recommended for first-time visitors.\n\nAlternatively, local ride-sharing apps are very active in Tanjung Redeb and offer a cost-effective way to reach city hotels or the riverfront if you are staying in town before your island hop. Travelers using BEJ should be prepared for the equatorial climate, which can bring heavy tropical downpours throughout the year, sometimes causing short-term flight disruptions. Arriving at the airport at least 90 minutes to two hours before your domestic departure is standard, as the security and check-in counters can become busy during the morning peak.

  "terminal_info": "Kalimarau Airport (BEJ), serving the town of Tanjung Redeb in the Berau Regency of East Kalimantan, is a modern and award-winning domestic aviation hub. Located approximately 10 kilometers from the city center, the airport acts as the primary aerial gateway for the world-famous Derawan Islands and the wider Berau maritime region. The airport operates with a sleek, eco-friendly passenger terminal that was significantly upgraded in 2012, blending contemporary architectural elements with traditional Dayak and marine motifs. The airport boasts a 2,250-meter asphalt runway capable of handling Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 series aircraft, making it one of the most capable regional facilities in Kalimantan.\n\nThe terminal at Kalimarau is designed for high efficiency and passenger comfort, often earning high praise for its cleanliness and logical layout. It features a spacious check-in hall, multiple security screening zones, and a comfortable departure lounge equipped with several boarding gates and telescopic aerobridges.
