  "connection_tips": "Osvaldo Vieira International Airport is the main airport for Bissau, and it is the country's key gateway for domestic and international traffic. The airport matters because it ties Guinea-Bissau's capital into regional and long-haul routes, which makes the ground transfer into the city the obvious next step after landing. Bissau needs a real gateway airport, and this is the one that keeps the capital connected.\n\nThat means the useful question is usually whether you are heading into central Bissau, a hotel, or a government appointment. The airport is close enough to the city to make a taxi or arranged car the standard choice, but the value of the airport is still in reducing the need for a long road trip or a more complicated transfer. In a capital city, that simplicity counts.\n\nFor travelers, OXB is the main air door to the country, and it works best when the city-side pickup is already arranged. Land, clear the airport quickly, and move directly into Bissau. The airport is useful because it lets the city stay tied into the region without making the transfer complicated. That is why the airport remains the capitals main air door. A taxi should already be waiting.",

    "Bissau arrivals go smoother with a fixed pickup because airport taxi pricing is variable."

  "terminal_info": "Osvaldo Vieira International Airport (OXB), also known as Bissau-Bissalanca Airport, is the primary international gateway to Guinea-Bissau, located approximately 6 miles (9 km) northwest of the capital, Bissau. The airport operates from a single, functional passenger terminal that handles all international and regional traffic. It is a critical infrastructure link, connecting the country to major West African hubs and direct routes to Europe, specifically Lisbon.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities, including a restaurant on the top floor with views of the runway and a small bar/caf\u00e9 in the airside departure area. Travelers have access to the Presidential Lounge near Gate 1, which typically serves business class passengers and elite status members. While on-site commercial options are limited, small shops offering local crafts and basic duty-free goods are available. Travelers are advised to carry sufficient cash (Euro or XOF) as card acceptance is inconsistent.\n\nGround transportation to central Bissau is well-supported by a rank of official blue taxis located directly outside the arrivals exit, with the journey taking approximately 15 to 20 minutes. While local minibuses (Toca-Tocas) also serve the airport area, they may be less convenient for passengers with significant luggage. The facility is fully accessible with ramps, though travelers are encouraged to bring their own pen for arrival forms and maintain a valid proof of Yellow Fever vaccination.",
