  "connection_tips": "Connecting at El Dorado International Airport Luis Carlos Gal\u00e1n Sarmiento (BOG) requires careful timing due to its high-altitude operations and split-terminal layout. The airport operates through Terminal 1 (main) and Terminal 2 (regional and domestic for carriers like Clic and SATENA). A critical tip for travelers is the inter-terminal transfer: a free green Eldorado Shuttle Bus connects T1 and T2 every 20 minutes from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM. If you are transferring from an international flight to a regional one, you must clear immigration, collect your luggage, and exit the building to catch this shuttle; allow at least 2. 5 to 3 hours for this process. For international arrivals, completing the mandatory Check-Mig form online 24 to 1 hour before your flight is essential to avoid significant delays at the immigration counter.\n\nDuring peak banks from 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, immigration queues can exceed an hour. Once airside in T1, the El Dorado Lounge by Mastercard is a highlight; open 24 hours near Gate A8, it features a unique Gold Museum exhibit and a cinema room. Access is generally available for Priority Pass members and premium Mastercard holders. Ground transportation is well-structured but requires a Tullave card, which can be purchased and topped up at the arrivals level.\n\nThe TransMilenio K86 Dual bus is a popular and affordable option, connecting the airport to the Usaqu\u00e9n district via Carrera 7. If you are using rideshare, follow signs to the designated pickup zones, as Uber and Cabify operate in a regulated environment at BOG. Always monitor your flight status via the Avianca or airport app, as high-altitude weather in the Bogot\u00e1 savanna can lead to sudden afternoon delays. If your connection involves a long wait, the on-site movie theater and numerous local cafes provide a comfortable environment to experience Colombian hospitality.",

  "terminal_info": "El Dorado International Airport Luis Carlos Gal\u00e1n Sarmiento (BOG) is the crown jewel of Colombia\u2019s aviation network and consistently ranks as one of the premier airports in Latin America. Located about 15 kilometers west of Bogot\u00e1\u2019s city center, it serves as the largest cargo hub in South America and handles nearly half of the country\u2019s total air traffic. As a primary gateway for the continent, BOG connects Bogot\u00e1 to global destinations across the Americas and Europe, while serving as the main operational base for Avianca, one of the world\u2019s oldest and largest airlines.\n\nThe airport\u2019s operation is divided between two main facilities: Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2), also known as Puente A\u00e9reo. Terminal 1 is a massive, modern H-shaped building that manages all international flights and the vast majority of domestic services. It is intelligently organized into two primary piers, with the north side dedicated to international traffic and the south side focused on domestic routes. Terminal 2, situated in a separate building, caters specifically to domestic flights for regional and low-cost carriers like SATENA and Clic, offering a faster and more streamlined experience for local travelers. A free satellite shuttle bus connects the two terminals every 20 minutes.\n\nInside Terminal 1, passengers have access to a world-class array of amenities that reflect the airport\u2019s award-winning status. The facility is home to some of the finest lounges in the region, most notably the El Dorado Lounge by Mastercard, which features a stunning \"Gold Exhibit\" of Pre-Columbian art. Other premium spaces include the LATAM Lounge and several Avianca Lounges. Beyond high-end dining and extensive duty-free shopping, the terminal offers unique facilities such as a cinema, a games room, professional business centers, and dedicated children\u2019s play areas. Free Wi-Fi and numerous device charging stations are available throughout the terminal to keep travelers connected.\n\nGround transportation at BOG is highly integrated with Bogot\u00e1\u2019s urban infrastructure, offering several efficient ways to reach the city center. The most cost-effective option is the TransMilenio rapid transit bus system, which links the airport to the wider city via the \"Portal El Dorado\" station and a dedicated airport feeder bus (Route 16-14). Official airport taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber and Cabify provide a more direct 30-to-40-minute journey to major business and tourist districts. For those heading deeper into the country, the airport also hosts numerous car rental agencies and provides extensive parking facilities, including dedicated short-term and long-term garages.",
