  "connection_tips": "Santa Bernardina International Airport (DZO) is a newly modernized aviation facility in central Uruguay, having undergone a major renovation in 2024 as part of the National System of International Airports. For travelers connecting through DZO, the most important tip is to understand its dual role as a civilian transport node and a major air base for the Uruguayan Air Force. The airport serves as the primary alternate for Montevideo's Carrasco International Airport (MVD) during severe weather events, meaning your 'connection' may sometimes be an unscheduled diversion. Ground transportation to the Durazno city center, located just 8 kilometers away, is handled by local taxis and regional buses; a ride typically takes 10 to 15 minutes and is very affordable.\n\nThe airport operates from a modern terminal designed to international safety standards, featuring efficient passenger processing and essential amenities like a small waiting lounge and duty-free shops offering local Uruguayan products. Arriving at least 90 minutes before your domestic or regional charter flight is recommended to navigate the coordinated security checks. Within the terminal, amenities are functional and sleek, but for a wider range of dining and financial services, heading into the city center is advised.\n\nBecause the airport is a major hub for military training and international cargo, pilots and passengers should be mindful of mixed-traffic operations and strictly follow all site-specific protocols. Lastly, carry sufficient Uruguayan Pesos in cash for local transport, as while the terminal is modern, international card acceptance at small local vendors can be limited. For those visiting the Durazno department for business or its vibrant festivals, DZO offers a professional and highly efficient entry point.",
