  "connection_tips": "Hermiston 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 HES to a commercial airline, you must travel to Pasco-Tri Cities Airport (PSC) in Washington, located 40 miles north, or Eastern Oregon Regional Airport (PDT) in Pendleton, 30 miles east. The drive to Tri-Cities typically takes 50 minutes via I-82; allow at least 3 hours for the transfer to account for travel time and commercial security. For private and corporate travelers, connections at HES usually involve transitioning from aircraft to pre-arranged ground transport.\n\nFixed-base operators (FBOs) like Gorge Aviation Services manage these transfers efficiently. The airport provides courtesy cars, including a six-passenger van, which can be reserved in advance for local trips. Coordinating through the FBO ensures that your baggage and ground transportation are handled seamlessly. The airport\u2019s layout allows for ramp-side vehicle access, enabling a transfer from aircraft to car in under 10 minutes. When using HES, verify the operating hours of the FBO services and fueling availability, especially for Jet-A requirements.\n\nIf you have a wait between flights, the Pilot's Lounge offers a comfortable space with Wi-Fi and weather-planning tools. However, the airport\u2019s proximity to Hermiston\u2014just a 10-minute drive\u2014makes it easy to access local restaurants and business centers. For layovers of 4 hours or more, a visit to the Columbia River is feasible. Always ensure your ground logistics are pre-arranged, as the airport lacks a permanent on-site taxi stand.",
