  "connection_tips": "Connecting through San Luis Airport (IPI) is a straightforward and generally relaxed experience, as the facility handles a manageable volume of domestic traffic, primarily linked to Bogota and other Colombian hubs. If you are traveling on a single ticket with a major Colombian carrier, your checked baggage may be through-checked to the final domestic destination, but it is still worth confirming that at the first check-in point. For self-transfers or separate tickets, allow 60 to 90 minutes so you have time to reclaim baggage, re-check it, and clear security again in the same compact terminal.\n\nWalking distances at IPI are short and security lines are usually manageable, but mountain weather can change quickly and high-altitude operations are less forgiving than at lowland airports. That matters even more if you are trying to connect onward by road to the Ecuador border or to Las Lajas, which sits just outside Ipiales and is the region's best-known stop.\n\nIf you end up with a longer layover, pre-arranged transport makes a quick excursion into Ipiales or out to Las Lajas possible. Keep your ID and boarding pass handy, and go straight to the airline desk in the terminal if a delay threatens the next sector because there are fewer recovery options here than at a major Colombian hub.",

  "terminal_info": "San Luis Airport (IPI), commonly known as Ipiales Airport, is a domestic aviation facility serving the city of Ipiales in the Nari\u00f1o Department of southwestern Colombia. Situated at an elevation of approximately 2,976 meters (9,764 feet) in the Andes Mountains, it is one of the highest commercial airports in South America. It serves as a vital transportation gateway for the border region with Ecuador, providing essential air connectivity for business travelers, government officials, and tourists. The airport features a single asphalt runway extending approximately 2,500 meters, which allows it to handle regional commercial aircraft such as the Airbus A320.\n\nThe terminal building at Ipiales is modern and efficient, designed to provide a high level of service for domestic travelers in a high-altitude environment. It houses multiple check-in counters for major Colombian carriers like Avianca and SATENA, a streamlined security screening area, and a comfortable waiting lounge for departing passengers. Amenities within the terminal include several snack bars serving traditional Colombian refreshments, retail shops featuring local products and souvenirs, and essential facilities like ATMs and charging stations. The airport is a significant link for connecting the region with major Colombian hubs, particularly the capital city of Bogot\u00e1.\n\nGround transportation at IPI is well-organized, with several taxi services and public bus lines that connect the airport directly to Ipiales city center and the Rumichaca international bridge at the Ecuadorian border. The airport's location in the high Andes provides a scenic arrival experience, with views of the surrounding mountains and the nearby Las Lajas Sanctuary, one of the most famous architectural landmarks in the country. For visitors exploring the cultural heritage and commercial importance of the border region, San Luis Airport offers a professional and highly accessible regional gateway.",
