  "connection_tips": "Pagadian Airport (PAG) serves the Zamboanga del Sur province in the Philippines. Ground transport is dominated by official tricycles, which meet every scheduled arrival and are the most common way to reach Pagadian City (approx. 15 mins, 100-150 PHP). Standard taxis and rideshare services are also available for more direct travel to central hotels.\n\nA unique connection tip: Pagadian is known as the 'Little Hong Kong of the South' due to its steep hills; tricycles here are uniquely designed with a tilt to handle the terrain. The terminal is functional and efficient, handling regular domestic flights from Manila and Cebu via Cebu Pacific and PAL Express.\n\nArrive 2 hours early for all departures. Facilities include basic cafes and souvenir shops. Ensure you have cash (PHP) for all local transport The easiest way into the city is still a tricycle, but you should be ready for the uphill streets around the center and keep small bills handy because the drivers usually work on short, cash fares. Keep cash ready for the tricycle fare, because the uphill streets make that the default city transfer. That makes the uphill tricycle route the practical default for almost every arrival. Small bills help because the tricycle fare is the simplest and fastest city transfer.",

  "terminal_info": "Pagadian Airport (PAG) is a Class 1 principal domestic facility serving Pagadian City and the province of Zamboanga del Sur in the Philippines. Located approximately 3 miles (5 km) from the city center, the airport features a single passenger terminal that handles all domestic arrivals and departures. It acts as a primary gateway to the Zamboanga Peninsula, often referred to as the 'Little Hong Kong of the South' due to its unique topography.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities for travelers, including several small eateries and kiosks in the public area offering local snacks, coffee, and refreshments. Passengers have access to free Wi-Fi throughout the building, on-site ATM services, and recently improved restroom facilities. While the airport does not feature dedicated airline lounges, its compact layout ensures short walking distances and a streamlined check-in and security process for domestic flights.\n\nGround transportation to central Pagadian is uniquely supported by the city's iconic inclined tricycles, which are readily available outside the terminal exit for a short 10-minute journey. The airport recently underwent significant runway rehabilitation to better accommodate larger jet aircraft like the Airbus A320, improving its connectivity to major hubs like Manila and Cebu. It is primarily served by Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines, with operations typically conducted between 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM.",
