  "connection_tips": "Fangatau Airport (FGU) is a remote coral atoll airstrip in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. This is one of the most isolated destinations served by Air Tahiti, typically via a weekly 'circuit' flight that hops between several small atolls before returning to Tahiti (PPT). There is no terminal building in the traditional sense; instead, there is a small open-air shelter near the runway. Passengers should be prepared for a very basic experience, with no restrooms, shops, or refreshments available at the site.\n\nConnections at FGU are inherently limited by the weekly flight schedule. If your flight includes a 'technical stop' at a nearby atoll like Fakahina, you will usually remain on the small ATR aircraft during the brief turnaround. Ground transportation is non-existent; almost everyone arriving is met by family or a guesthouse host in a small boat or a pickup truck for the journey to the village. The distance from the plane to the shelter is about 20 meters across the crushed coral surface.\n\nTravelers must be extremely mindful of weight limits, as small aircraft are the only way in or out, and every kilogram is scrutinized. It is essential to bring all necessary supplies, including snacks and bottled water, as the island's local 'magasin' has very limited stock. The appeal of Fangatau lies in its pristine, untouched environment, but this requires total self-sufficiency from the moment you step off the plane into the intense Pacific sun.",

  "terminal_info": "Fangatau Airport operates a minimal coral atoll airstrip serving this remote island in French Polynesia's Tuamotu Archipelago with only weekly flights. The facility provides basic weather shelter with no formal terminal building, where passengers coordinate with limited scheduled service requiring careful schedule verification. Check-in procedures are informal with walking distance from shelter to aircraft approximately 20 meters across the coral runway.\n\nPassenger processing is extremely basic with no security screening, customs, or immigration facilities due to domestic French Polynesia operations. Weekly flight schedules require precise coordination, and weight restrictions are strictly enforced for small aircraft operations. Island shops have extremely limited stock requiring passengers to bring essential supplies.\n\nAmenities are virtually non-existent, consisting only of basic weather shelter from tropical Pacific conditions. No restroom facilities, refreshments, or commercial services are available. Passengers must bring all necessary supplies including food, water, and medical needs due to the remote location and limited local resources. No accessibility accommodations exist beyond basic access across the coral surface. Family facilities are non-existent, as the airport serves essential transportation for local atoll residents and occasional visitors to this pristine but extremely isolated coral atoll rather than tourism, providing crucial aviation access to one of French Polynesia's most remote and undeveloped atolls in the vast Tuamotu chain.",
