  "connection_tips": "Cheraw Municipal Airport is a general aviation facility and does not handle scheduled commercial flights. Standard commercial Minimum Connection Times (MCT) are not applicable here. If your itinerary involves a transfer from a private charter at HCW to a commercial airline, you must travel to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), located 70 miles northwest, or Florence Regional Airport (FLO), 40 miles southeast. The drive to Charlotte typically takes 90 minutes; allow at least 4 hours for the transfer to account for metropolitan traffic and international security protocols at CLT.\n\nFor private and corporate travelers, connections at HCW usually involve transitioning from aircraft to pre-arranged ground transport. The airport\u2019s modern terminal layout often allows for ramp-side vehicle access, enabling a transfer from aircraft to car in under 10 minutes. Since the facility lacks a permanent on-site taxi rank, all ground logistics, including rental car deliveries, should be coordinated in advance through the airport management. This ensures that your baggage and ground transportation are handled seamlessly upon your arrival.\n\nWhen using HCW, verify the availability of 100LL and Jet-A fueling services, as well as any on-site maintenance needs. If you have a wait between flights, the new terminal\u2019s Pilot's Lounge offers a comfortable space with flight planning tools and Wi-Fi. However, the airport\u2019s proximity to historic Cheraw\u2014just a 10-minute drive\u2014makes it easy to visit local landmarks like the Dizzy Gillespie birthplace or enjoy a Southern meal if you have several hours before your next departure. Always bring your own essential supplies, as the terminal does not host commercial dining.",
