  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Niue International Airport (IUE) is simple in physical terms but unforgiving in schedule terms, because the island has very limited Air New Zealand service rather than a dense network of daily alternatives. The Auckland service pattern changes seasonally, which means a missed flight can cost far more time here than at a larger Pacific airport. There is no real transit product at IUE: you arrive, clear the small terminal, and continue by pre-arranged island transport, rental car, or accommodation pickup.\n\nHanan Airport is only a few minutes from Alofi, so a longer pre-departure gap can be spent off-airport if you have a car and keep a close eye on check-in timing. For disruptions, think in terms of airline assistance and local re-planning rather than simply catching the next departure. Keep documents handy, confirm the current flight day before making island activities non-refundable, and avoid building same-day onward commitments that assume big-airport flexibility.\n\nBecause Niue sits across the International Date Line, you should also check the calendar date and local departure time carefully before heading out, especially if you are connecting from Auckland or planning a day trip that depends on a specific island pickup. In practice, IUE works best when the transfer is booked as part of the trip, the airport day is kept light, and you accept that a small timetable here carries far more consequence than it would in a larger hub.",

  "terminal_info": "Niue International Airport (IUE), also known as Hanan International Airport, is the sole international gateway to the island nation of Niue. Located near the capital village of Alofi, it serves as a critical link for the island's residents and for tourists visiting Niue's unique limestone landscapes, pristine coral reefs, and seasonal whale-watching sites. The airport features a single paved runway 10/28 extending 2,335 meters, which is capable of accommodating medium-sized commercial jets such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737.\n\nThe terminal building at Niue is compact, efficient, and characterized by the island's warm hospitality. It provides essential services for international travelers, including streamlined check-in counters, a security screening area, and a comfortable departure lounge. While the facility lacks the extensive retail and dining corridors of larger Pacific hubs, it offers a personalized experience with basic amenities such as a small duty-free shop, a cafe serving local refreshments, and dedicated customs and immigration facilities designed for quick processing.\n\nGround transportation from IUE is primarily managed through pre-arranged resort shuttles, rental cars, and private vehicles that meet the limited number of scheduled weekly flights. The airport's location provides rapid access to the village of Alofi and the various eco-resorts scattered across the island. For visitors arriving in Niue, the airport offers a peaceful and welcoming introduction to the island's tranquil lifestyle, significantly reducing travel time compared to reaching the island via maritime vessel.",
