  "connection_tips": "Sierra Maestra Airport (MZO) is a small Cuban gateway where the practical issue is not navigating the terminal but securing the onward road plan in a city with limited transport flexibility. In Cuba, the air segment and the onward transport often need to be planned together, especially when rental cars, intercity buses, or hotel transfers are in short supply or handled away from the airport. Carry cash for the first transfer, confirm whether your accommodation is truly sending a vehicle, and avoid an itinerary that depends on quickly improvising transport after landing.\n\nIf you are going into Manzanillo itself, a taxi or hotel-arranged pickup is usually the simplest solution. Travelers arriving for family visits, provincial business, or a coast-and-mountains itinerary should think through that road leg before the flight, not after baggage claim. The airport is useful because it brings you directly into southeastern Cuba, but the connection works best when the taxi, hotel, or onward city arrangement has already been locked in before departure.\n\nIf your destination is farther into Granma or toward the Sierra Maestra area, do not assume the airport can provide a seamless long-distance handoff on the spot. For international or charter arrivals, keep expectations modest: MZO is functional, but it is not a large resort airport with abundant backup services if the day slips. That extra planning matters even more if you are heading beyond Manzanillo itself, where same-day transport choices are much thinner.",
