  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Imperial County Airport (IPL) is straightforward, but the airport rewards passengers who treat it as a true regional field rather than a miniature big-city hub. Southern Airways Express currently links Imperial with Los Angeles and Phoenix, so the connection question is usually whether you have enough margin on a single regional itinerary rather than whether the terminal can absorb a complex transfer.\n\nConfirm baggage handling at check-in, because same-day recovery options are more limited than at a major California airport, and a missed seat on a small aircraft can take much longer to fix than a misconnect at LAX or PHX. The airport's free parking, on-airport Hertz and Avis desks, and short drive into Imperial or El Centro make ground planning almost as important as the flight itself. If you are continuing into the Imperial Valley for work, farming visits, or family errands, the best strategy is usually to collect a car immediately and keep the rest of the day flexible.\n\nFor a longer wait, food and services are easier to find in El Centro than at the terminal, but leave enough time to return, because one delayed flight can affect the rest of the day when the schedule is this thin. In practice, IPL works best when you build it into a calm point-to-point trip and avoid assuming there will be multiple backup departures or a large transfer bank to rescue a bad connection.",

The airport features two asphalt runways, with the primary runway 14/32 extending 5,308 feet, allowing it to handle regional commercial aircraft and a wide variety of business jets.\n\nThe terminal building at Imperial County is functional and well-maintained, designed to provide a high level of service for domestic travelers in a professional environment.
