  "connection_tips": "It handles regular domestic flights and occasional regional charters. A significant tip: the airport handles a low volume of civilian traffic, making processing exceptionally fast The airport is most useful for people who already know the industrial and port-side layout of Puerto Cabello, because the town connection is short but not designed for spontaneous wanderers.\n\nGeneral Bartolom\u00e9 Salom International Airport (PBL) serves the port city of Puerto Cabello in Carabobo, Venezuela. Negotiate the fare upfront (approx. 10-20 USD). For those heading to the state capital, Valencia, the 45-minute journey by taxi or intercity bus is the standard connection. The nearby wharf, container traffic, and hotel strip all sit close enough that a driver can cover several purposes in one transfer, which is why advance coordination works better than standing at the terminal and improvising.\n\nFacilities include basic cafes and waiting areas. Ensure you have cash (USD) for local transport, as card facilities are rare Because the airport is not a mainstream passenger hub, the best arrivals are the ones where a host or project manager is waiting, and the rest of the trip is already tied to the port-side schedule. Because Puerto Cabello is a port city, a host waiting at the curb keeps the transfer efficient.",

  "terminal_info": "General Bartolom\u00e9 Salom International Airport (PBL) is a regional aviation facility serving the port city of Puerto Cabello in the Carabobo state of Venezuela. The airport features a single passenger terminal building that has undergone several periods of rehabilitation to support domestic and regional operations. It is strategically positioned approximately 3.7 miles (6 km) west of the city center, near one of the country's most important maritime shipping hubs.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides basic essential services for travelers and pilots, primarily catering to general aviation and private charter flights. While the building includes a functional waiting area and administrative offices, modern commercial amenities like retail shops, restaurants, or luxury lounges are currently limited or unavailable. Travelers are advised to handle significant logistical and dining needs in central Puerto Cabello prior to their arrival at the airfield.\n\nOperationally, the airport features a substantial 6,972-foot (2,125m) asphalt runway (11/29) and is managed by the state-owned Bolivariana de Aeropuertos (BAER). While regular scheduled commercial service is currently infrequent, the facility remains an important hub for maritime-related business travel and technical flights. Ground transportation to central Puerto Cabello is informal and typically supported by authorized local taxi services located outside the terminal exit.",
