  "connection_tips": "Oostende-Brugge International Airport is a coastal Belgian airport with a mixed role that leans heavily toward cargo, charter, and niche passenger traffic. It sits near the North Sea and gives West Flanders a practical aviation link without forcing every movement through Brussels. Oostende-Brugge is also handy for travel to the Belgian coast, where a short transfer can matter more than airport size.\n\nThe useful part of the connection is the short transfer into Ostend, Bruges, or the surrounding coast. If you are arriving for business, freight, or a leisure trip to the seaside, the airport works best when the car or hotel pickup is already set. The airport is efficient because it is compact, and because the real destination in this part of Belgium is usually the city or the coast, not the terminal.\n\nThat makes OST a good example of a small European airport that matters because it shortens the transfer and keeps the trip close to the coast. The airport is at its best when the next leg is already waiting. The airport is at its best when the next car or hotel is already waiting. A coastal transfer in Ostend or Bruges is far easier when the airport leg is already resolved.",

    "For Bruges, use Line 60 to Ostend station, then check SNCB for the next train.",
    "The airport is small and passenger-friendly; 90 minutes before departure is usually plenty of time.",
    "With a long layover, Ostend beach is close enough for a quick taxi or bus trip.",
    "The airport restaurant overlooks the runway and is a good stop for Belgian snacks.",
    "OST works well for Bruges-bound trips when Brussels traffic would cost you more time."
