  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Del Baj\u00edo International Airport (BJX) is a highly efficient process due to its single-terminal layout, which eliminates the need for complex transfers. For travelers transiting from international flights to domestic destinations, it is important to note that you must clear Mexican immigration and customs at BJX before proceeding. The immigration hall is equipped with modern biometric systems, though passengers should allow at least two hours for international-to-domestic connections, particularly during peak arrival periods. Most gates are located within a five-minute walk from the central security checkpoint, making transit distances remarkably short.\n\nThere is no automated baggage transfer for passengers on separate tickets; in such cases, luggage must be personally retrieved from arrivals and re-checked at the main ticketing counters. For those transiting between domestic flights on major carriers like Volaris or Viva Aerobus, the process is even faster, as the 'airside' area remains unified. During busy festival seasons, the terminal can experience higher passenger volumes, so early arrival is highly recommended. For travelers with longer waits, the VIP Lounge Baj\u00edo offers the most comfortable waiting environment, while landside coffee shops provide a great spot for quick meetings.\n\nIn the event of a missed connection, airline customer service desks are centrally located. Because BJX is a major regional hub, most carriers offer multiple daily frequencies, facilitating rapid re-booking. Ground transportation is conveniently located near the exit, with the Primera Plus bus booth offering a direct link to the regional network. For a seamless connection to the center of Guanajuato or Le\u00f3n, using pre-arranged private shuttles or the official 'Taxi Aeropuerto' service is the most reliable option, with journey times typically around 30 to 45 minutes.",
