  "connection_tips": "Cape Girardeau Regional Airport (CGI) serves as a state-of-the-art gateway for Southeast Missouri, featuring a brand-new terminal building that opened in late 2024. Because the airport operates as part of the federal Essential Air Service (EAS) program, \"connecting\" here is centered on the daily jet services provided by Contour Airlines to major hubs at Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW). A significant advantage for travelers is Contour\u2019s interline agreement with American Airlines, United, and Alaska Airlines. This allows you to book a single itinerary and have your baggage checked through from Cape Girardeau to international destinations, bypassing the need to reclaim bags at the massive hub terminals.\n\nIf you are connecting to a long-haul international departure in Chicago or Dallas, it is highly recommended to allow a minimum buffer of 3. 5 hours. While the check-in and security process at CGI typically takes less than 15 minutes, both ORD and DFW require significant time for terminal transfers and secondary screenings. For those needing a ground connection to St. Louis (STL), the airport is located 120 miles south of the city; Greyhound and specialized STL shuttles provide reliable daily links in approximately 2 hours.\n\nUpon arrival at the CGI terminal, you will find on-site car rental desks for Avis and Enterprise, which are essential for reaching Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO), located just 15 minutes to the north. While waiting, enjoy a meal at the Pilot House Restaurant, which offers one of the best views of the active runway in the region. Always verify your flight status on the Contour app, as seasonal morning fog along the Mississippi River can occasionally impact regional flight schedules.",
