  "connection_tips": "Kaunas International Airport (KUN) is Lithuania's second-busiest aviation hub and a major regional center for low-cost carriers like Ryanair. Tickets can be conveniently purchased from the driver using cash or via the '\u017diogas' mobile app. Taxis are also available 24/7 at the designated rank outside the arrivals terminal; however, it is always advisable to use the official airport taxi service or an app to ensure transparent pricing. Despite these upgrades, security and passport control queues can still lengthen during peak morning and evening flight banks, so arriving at least 2 hours before your scheduled departure is strongly recommended.\n\nLocated in Karm\u0117lava, approximately 14 kilometers northeast of the Kaunas city center, getting to and from the terminal is highly efficient. For those seeking a faster and more private transfer, ride-hailing apps like Bolt and Uber are widely available and offer competitive, fixed pricing to major city hotels. For those who prefer to drive, several major car rental agencies have desks situated in the newly expanded arrivals area. The terminal features a variety of new dining options and a unique indoor basketball court, reflecting Lithuania's passion for the sport.\n\nThe most popular and economical mode of transport is the City Bus 29 (or its express version, 29G), which provides a direct link to the Kaunas Railway Station and the central bus terminal in about 40 to 50 minutes. Additionally, for travelers heading to the capital, the 'Ollex' express shuttle provides frequent services directly to Vilnius and Klaip\u0117da, with schedules meticulously timed to coincide with flight arrivals and departures. The terminal complex has recently undergone a significant transformation, with a modern extension that has doubled its passenger capacity. Always carry some Euro (EUR) in cash for smaller purchases, though most transportation and airport services readily accept international credit cards.",

  "terminal_info": "Kaunas International Airport (KUN), identified by its ICAO code EYKA, serves as a primary low-cost aviation hub for Lithuania and a major European center for aircraft maintenance and repair (MRO). The facility has recently completed a significant transformation, with a newly expanded passenger terminal officially opening in late 2025. This development increased the terminal area by 4,400 square meters and doubled the airport's capacity to 800 passengers per hour, allowing it to efficiently manage up to 2 million travelers annually while supporting the rapid growth of its primary carrier, Ryanair.\n\nThe modernized terminal features six boarding gates, enlarged arrival and departure halls, and a range of updated amenities designed for passenger comfort. Inside, travelers can find a variety of new cafes, restaurants, and retail shops spread across three floors, as well as a unique indoor basketball court that reflects Lithuania's national sport. The facility also houses next-generation baggage handling and screening systems, along with automated passport control solutions to streamline the international transit experience for those connecting to major European destinations like Berlin, London, and Pisa.\n\nInfrastructure at Kaunas is well-supported by a newly expanded northern apron and multiple state-of-the-art maintenance hangars, solidifying its status as a critical technical node within the regional aviation network. Ground transportation is highly accessible, with regular public bus services (Route 29G) providing a direct link to the Kaunas city center and the central railway station. Additionally, on-site car rental services have been relocated to more convenient positions within the terminal, ensuring a seamless connection for the over 1.3 million passengers who utilize the hub as a gateway to central Lithuania and the wider Baltic region.",
