  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) is a highly efficient experience due to its compact, single-terminal layout and the airport's commitment to 'Hoosier Hospitality. ' The facility operates from one main building with two primary levels: arrivals and baggage claim on the first floor, and ticketing and security on the second. For domestic-to-domestic transfers, all gates are located within a short walking distance, and a connection time of 30 to 45 minutes is typically sufficient if your bags are checked through. If you are on separate tickets, you will need to retrieve your luggage from the Level 1 claim area and re-check it at the upstairs counters before re-clearing security.\n\nOne of the most unique aspects of FWA is the complimentary fresh-baked cookie given to arriving passengers by hospitality hosts, a long-standing local tradition. The terminal offers modern amenities including free Wi-Fi, a sensory room, and a children's play area, all located post-security. Arriving 90 minutes before your flight is generally recommended, as security lines are typically much shorter than at larger hubs.\n\nGround transportation to downtown Fort Wayne, located about nine miles northeast, is most easily accomplished via rideshare services like Uber and Lyft or local taxis like Deluxe Taxi, which are available 24/7. Many area hotels also provide free shuttle services, which can be requested using the courtesy phones at the Level 1 Welcome Center. Please note that there is currently no direct public bus service to the terminal building, making private transport or a pre-arranged shuttle the most practical options.",

  "terminal_info": "Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) is the primary aviation hub for northeastern Indiana and a significant regional gateway for the Great Lakes manufacturing corridor. The airport is currently undergoing a massive multi-phase expansion and renovation project known as 'Project Gateway.' A major milestone was reached in mid-2023 with the completion of the West Terminal expansion, which introduced a modernized facade, new baggage handling systems, and enhanced ticketing areas. The ongoing East Terminal phase, scheduled for completion in June 2025, will relocate all boarding gates to the second floor and significantly enlarge the TSA security checkpoint.\n\nThe terminal building offers a high-quality environment with a focus on passenger comfort and accessibility. New facilities include a dedicated multi-sensory room, an expanded children's play area, and updated mother's rooms. Dining and retail options have been significantly improved, featuring local favorites like Hop River Brewing and Bon Bon's Coffee. A unique addition is the membership-exclusive 'Gateway Lounge,' providing a premium space for frequent flyers. The airport also features an 'accessibility cane trail' and modern tactile signage, reflecting its commitment to being one of the most inclusive regional airports in the United States.\n\nCommercial air services at FWA are provided by major carriers including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, along with ultra-low-cost carrier Allegiant Air. These airlines offer non-stop links to 13 major destinations, including primary hubs like Chicago (ORD), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Atlanta (ATL), and Charlotte (CLT). Ground transportation is well-integrated, with several car rental agencies located within the terminal and a dedicated taxi and ride-sharing zone. The airport is situated approximately 8 miles south of downtown Fort Wayne, and its manageable size ensures a quick transition from gate to curb, typically taking less than 10 minutes.",
