  "connection_tips": "Grand Strand Airport (CRE) is a private-aviation and general-aviation access point for North Myrtle Beach, not a scheduled-airline airport. That means any connection through it is really a handoff from private aircraft to local ground transport, a resort, or another airport rather than a normal airline transfer. The airport is valuable because it is close to golf, beach, and resort areas, but it does not provide a public-airline network that can absorb mistakes in the itinerary.\n\nFor travelers who need commercial service, Myrtle Beach International or another larger airport is the real gateway. CRE works best when the destination is local and the ground movement is short. It works less well if the plan assumes a same-day private-to-airline transfer without a properly arranged car, because the airport's convenience disappears quickly once the next segment depends on surface timing rather than runway access.\n\nUse CRE as a destination access field. Confirm the pickup or rental arrangement before landing, and if your itinerary later depends on a commercial departure elsewhere, treat that road leg as a full segment with its own buffer. The airport is comfortable and well positioned, but its role is local access for general aviation, not resilient airline connectivity.",

  "terminal_info": "Grand Strand Airport (CRE/KCRE) is a prominent public-use general aviation facility located in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Serving the heart of the world-famous Grand Strand resort area, the airport is a popular hub for private pilots, corporate travelers, and vacationers visiting the region's many golf courses and beaches. It plays a vital role in the regional aviation network, providing a convenient and accessible alternative to the busier Myrtle Beach International Airport for private and executive flight operations.\n\nThe terminal building is a functional and well-maintained facility that serves as the airport's administrative and pilot services center. Inside, visitors will find a welcoming lobby area, a pilot's lounge with comfortable seating, and clean restroom facilities. Although the airport does not support scheduled commercial airline service, the terminal is designed to handle the needs of transient aviators and their passengers with high efficiency. Amenities at CRE include high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building and a selection of local information materials to assist visitors in exploring the nearby attractions, including the North Myrtle Beach park and sports complex.\n\nOperational capacity at Grand Strand Airport is supported by a single paved runway (05/23) measuring approximately 5,997 feet in length, which is capable of handling a wide range of light and medium-sized general aviation aircraft and corporate jets. Navigation through the terminal is exceptionally easy due to its compact and logical layout. For ground transportation, the airport is located within a very short drive of numerous local restaurants, hotels, and retail centers, with taxi and ride-share services readily available to transport passengers to the nearby beach resorts and golf destinations.",
