  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Hurghada International Airport (HRG) requires careful planning, as the facility is primarily designed as a destination airport rather than a transit hub. The airport consists of two separate terminals located approximately 1.5 kilometers apart: the modern Terminal 1 handles most international traffic, while Terminal 2 is used for domestic flights and select charter services. There is no airside transfer between these buildings; passengers changing terminals must clear immigration, collect their baggage, and take a short taxi or walk landside to the next terminal. For international-to-domestic transfers, a minimum connection time of at least three hours is strongly recommended.\n\nFor many nationalities, including citizens of the USA, UK, and EU, a visa-on-arrival is available for $25 USD. It is essential to purchase your visa sticker from one of the bank counters in the arrivals hall before joining the immigration queue; carrying exact cash in USD is highly advisable to avoid poor exchange rates. Travelers should also be aware that Egypt enforces strict customs regulations; drones are prohibited and will be confiscated upon entry. Ground transportation to the city center, located 15 kilometers away, is best handled by pre-booked private transfers or ride-sharing apps like Uber and Careem, which offer more reliable pricing than official airport taxis.\n\nIf taking a taxi from the curb, ensure you negotiate and agree on the fare (typically 200-350 EGP) before starting the journey. The terminal offers free Wi-Fi and kiosks for local SIM cards (Orange or Vodafone), which are easier to obtain at the airport than in town. Arriving three hours before international departures is recommended due to multiple security layers.",

  "terminal_info": "Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is the second-busiest airport in Egypt and the primary gateway to the Red Sea Riviera. The airport complex consists of two main passenger terminals: the modern Terminal 1, inaugurated in 2014 to handle full-service international flights, and the original Terminal 2, which primarily serves domestic routes and low-cost or charter carriers. Together, these terminals manage a significant volume of leisure travelers from Europe and the Middle East, offering a total capacity of several million passengers annually.\n\nTerminal 1 features 72 check-in counters and 20 jet-bridge boarding gates, providing a spacious environment with high ceilings and extensive glass facades. Inside, travelers have access to a wide range of facilities, including multiple duty-free shops, international cafes, and several premium lounges. Terminal 2, while older, is well-equipped with its own check-in desks and retail areas. Both terminals provide essential traveler services such as currency exchange, SIM card kiosks, and numerous souvenir stores specializing in Egyptian handicrafts and Red Sea diving gear.\n\nNavigating between the two terminals requires careful planning, as they are located approximately 1.5 kilometers apart and there is currently no regular shuttle bus service connecting them. Ground transportation is well-supported by local taxis and pre-arranged resort shuttles that connect the airport to the city center and the various luxury hotel complexes along the coast. The airport's location just five kilometers southwest of downtown Hurghada ensures quick transfers for arriving tourists. The airfield operates with a significant runway infrastructure, supporting over 40 international airlines and connecting to more than 100 destinations worldwide.",
