  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Carlos Manuel de C\u00e9spedes Airport (BYM) is a quintessential experience of travel in eastern Cuba, serving as the historic gateway to the Granma Province and the Sierra Maestra mountains. The primary air 'connection' is the domestic link from Havana (HAV) operated by Cubana de Aviaci\u00f3n. A critical logistical tip: these flights typically utilize Havana\u2019s Terminal 1 (Domestic), not the international Terminal 3; ensure you allow at least 15 minutes for a taxi transfer between terminals if arriving from overseas. Because Cubana\u2019s schedule is notoriously irregular\u2014often only running twice weekly\u2014it is essential to reconfirm your flight status 24 hours in advance at their city office near the Royalton Hotel.\n\nUpon arrival at BYM, the most unique and traditional 'onward connection' to the city center (4km away) is by horse-drawn carriage (*coche*). While standard taxis are available at the terminal, taking a carriage into the 'City of Carriages' is a scenic and inexpensive way to reach Parque C\u00e9spedes. If you are heading into the Sierra Maestra for treks to Comandancia de la Plata, most tours depart from the nearby Hotel Sierra Maestra.\n\nFor travelers whose flights are cancelled, a common alternative is to connect via Holgu\u00edn (HOG) or Santiago de Cuba (SCU) and then take a 2-hour Viazul bus or private taxi to Bayamo. A paramount tip for international visitors is to carry sufficient cash in Euros or USD to exchange for Cuban Pesos (CUP) at the on-site CADECA booth, as US-linked credit cards do not work in Cuba. Always maintain a flexible schedule, as the airport lacks digital information displays and operations are strictly limited to daylight hours due to the absence of modern runway lighting.",
