  "connection_tips": "Nelson Ribeiro Guimar\u00e3es Airport (CLV) is a regional facility serving Caldas Novas, Brazil. As the gateway to the world's largest hydrothermal resort region, CLV supports a massive tourism industry. Connecting through CLV is efficient, with a single terminal handling domestic and seasonal international flows. Most passengers connect from major hubs like S\u00e3o Paulo (GRU or CGH) or Belo Horizonte (CNF).\n\nIf arriving on an international flight at S\u00e3o Paulo-Guarulhos (GRU) and connecting to CLV, you must clear immigration and customs at your first point of entry. This involves collecting checked luggage and re-checking it at the domestic desk, so ensure your itinerary allows 3 to 4 hours for this transition. If your connection requires switching between S\u00e3o Paulo airports (GRU and CGH), allow a minimum of 5 to 6 hours due to traffic. Upon arrival at CLV, the 'connection' to your final destination is straightforward.\n\nThe airport is 7 kilometers from downtown and 28 kilometers from the Rio Quente complex. Pre-arranged hotel shuttles and official taxis are the most common transport options; coordinate your transfer in advance, especially during the peak holiday months of July, December, and January. While the terminal is small and navigation easy, facilities are limited, so handle major dining or banking needs before arriving at the resort area.",

  "terminal_info": "Nelson Ribeiro Guimar\u00e3es Airport (CLV/SBCN), also known as Caldas Novas Airport, is a key regional airfield serving the popular hot spring resort city of Caldas Novas in the state of Goi\u00e1s, Brazil. As the primary gateway for thousands of domestic tourists visiting the world's largest hydrothermal area, the airport plays a vital role in supporting the region's tourism-driven economy. It primarily facilitates scheduled domestic flights from major hubs like S\u00e3o Paulo and Belo Horizonte, alongside a significant volume of private executive charters.\n\nThe terminal building is a modern and functional facility that has been recently updated to better accommodate the seasonal waves of holidaymakers. Inside, travelers will find a unified departures and arrivals hall, featuring multiple check-in counters, a streamlined security checkpoint, and a spacious air-conditioned waiting room. Amenities at CLV include several small cafes and snack bars, local retail shops offering swimwear and regional souvenirs, and essential restroom facilities. While the airport is relatively compact, it is well-organized and efficient, reflecting its specialized role in regional tourism.\n\nOperational capacity at Caldas Novas Airport is supported by a single paved runway (09/27) measuring approximately 2,100 meters in length, which is capable of handling narrow-body commercial jets like the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. Navigation through the terminal is exceptionally easy, ensuring short walking distances for all passengers. For ground transportation, the airport is located just a few kilometers from the main resort areas of Caldas Novas, with a wide range of options including official taxi services, resort-shuttle buses, and several car rental agencies conveniently located in the arrivals hall.",
