  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (DIL) is a relatively straightforward process, as it is the primary international gateway to Timor-Leste. Most connections here involve arriving from regional hubs like Denpasar (DPS), Darwin (DRW), or Singapore (SIN) and transitioning to local ground transportation or domestic flights to Oecusse. Because the airport operates through a single, compact terminal building, the transit time between any two points is minimal, typically taking less than 10 minutes. For international travelers arriving in Dili, a 30-day tourist visa-on-arrival is available for US$30 in cash, which is the official currency of the country.\n\nIt is highly recommended to carry crisp, clean US dollar bills, as credit card acceptance is limited at the airport and throughout the city. Ground transportation is readily available via taxis, though it is wise to pre-arrange your transfer through your hotel or a reputable service, as formal taxi stands can be sporadic. The journey to downtown Dili takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes. When planning your departure, aim to be at the airport at least two to three hours before your international flight to allow for check-in and security procedures.\n\nWhile the terminal offers basic amenities such as free Wi-Fi and a small cafe, ongoing renovations are aimed at modernizing the facilities and extending the runway to accommodate larger aircraft. For those with a longer layover, the airport's proximity to the city center makes it feasible to explore Dili's waterfront or local markets. By leveraging the airport's streamlined layout and preparing your cash and visa requirements in advance, you can enjoy a smooth transition through this welcoming Southeast Asian hub.",

  "terminal_info": "Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (DIL), formerly known as Comoro Airport, is the primary international aviation facility serving Dili and the nation of Timor-Leste. Situated approximately 6 kilometers west of the capital's city center, the airport is a critical piece of infrastructure for the country's economic development and international connectivity. Named in honor of national hero Nicolau dos Reis Lobato, it serves as the main gateway for diplomatic, business, and leisure travel to the young nation.\n\nThe current passenger terminal is a single, functional building that manages both domestic and international arrivals and departures. The layout is compact and easy to navigate, featuring essential passenger services including check-in counters, immigration and customs checkpoints, and a shared waiting lounge.
