  "connection_tips": "Duncan Airport (DUQ), also known by its ICAO code CAM3, is a premier general aviation and flight training facility in the heart of the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. For travelers connecting through DUQ, the most important tip is to understand its role as a purely private and recreational node; there are currently no scheduled commercial airline services at this field. For most visitors, the primary commercial 'connection' to the region is made by flying into Victoria International Airport (YYJ), located about 60 kilometers to the south, or Nanaimo Airport (YCD), roughly 45 kilometers to the north, and then completing the journey via rental car or the Island Connector bus service. If you are flying privately into DUQ, the airport is exceptionally convenient, located just a 10-minute drive from the Duncan city center.\n\nGround transportation requires advance coordination; there is no dedicated taxi rank at the terminal. You must call a local provider like Duncan Taxi for a pickup. The airport is a major base for Action Ultralights and other flight training organizations, so pilots should be particularly mindful of high-volume student training traffic and strictly follow noise abatement procedures.\n\nThe terminal features a basic but comfortable waiting area and restrooms. Because the airport is situated in a valley near the Pacific coast, early morning flights can occasionally be affected by ground fog or low cloud cover; always check the latest METAR reports. For those visiting the Totem Poles of Duncan or the local wineries, DUQ offers a professional and exceptionally low-traffic entry point compared to larger commercial hubs.",
