  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Shumba Airport (JAE) is a straightforward and generally relaxed experience, as the facility handles a manageable volume of domestic traffic, primarily linked to major hubs like Lima (LIM). If you are traveling on a single ticket with a major Peruvian carrier like LATAM, your checked baggage will typically be transferred automatically to your final destination, allowing you to remain in the secure departures lounge for your onward domestic flight. However, it is always wise to confirm this at your initial check-in point. For self-transfers or passengers traveling on separate tickets, it is recommended to allow between 60 and 90 minutes.\n\nThis provides a sufficient buffer to collect your luggage from the single arrivals carousel and proceed back to the departures level for re-check-in within the same terminal building. The airport's compact layout ensures that walking distances are minimal, making the transition between flights very quick. Security wait times are typically under 15 minutes, although it is always wise to allow extra time during peak travel seasons or local festivals when the airport can experience higher volumes. While waiting at the terminal, passengers can enjoy the quiet atmosphere and utilize the free Wi-Fi provided throughout the building.\n\nSeveral comfortable seating areas are available within the passenger zones, and the small cafeteria provides a pleasant place to relax. If you find yourself with a layover of more than four hours, a quick trip into downtown Ja\u00e9n to explore the local markets or visit the botanical gardens is possible, provided you have pre-arranged transport. Always keep your boarding pass and a valid government-issued identification (DNI for Peruvians or a passport for international visitors) easily accessible throughout your time in the airport.",

  "terminal_info": "Shumba Airport (JAE), also known as Ja\u00e9n Airport, is a domestic aviation facility serving the city of Ja\u00e9n and the Cajamarca Region in northern Peru.
