  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Wilmington International Airport (ILM) is a straightforward and generally stress-free experience, as the facility handles a manageable volume of domestic traffic, mostly linked to major airline hubs like Charlotte (CLT), Atlanta (ATL), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), and Philadelphia (PHL). If you are traveling on a single ticket with a major carrier such as American, Delta, or United, your checked baggage will typically be transferred automatically to your final destination. For self-transfers or passengers traveling on separate tickets, it is recommended to allow between 60 and 90 minutes. This provides a sufficient buffer to collect your luggage from one of the three carousels in the arrivals hall and proceed back to the departures level for re-check-in within the same terminal building.\n\nThe security screening process at Wilmington is known for its efficiency and typically moves quickly, though it is still wise to arrive at the airport at least two hours before your scheduled departure, especially during the peak summer tourism months. The terminal offers free Wi-Fi throughout the building and several comfortable waiting areas. While there are no dedicated premium international-style lounges, several restaurants and cafes in the departure lounge provide a pleasant place to wait for your flight.\n\nIf you find yourself with a layover of more than four hours, a quick trip into downtown Wilmington to explore the historic riverfront or visit the USS North Carolina Battleship is an excellent way to spend your time. Always keep your boarding pass and a valid government-issued identification easily accessible throughout your time in the airport. In the event of a flight delay or missed connection, the airline service counters are located in the main hall and are the primary point",
