  "connection_tips": "Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM) is the primary gateway to Suriname, located approximately 45 kilometers south of Paramaribo. Ground transport is dominated by official airport taxis and private shuttles; the taxi journey to the city center takes about 70-80 minutes and costs roughly 250-350 SRD.\n\nFor a more economical option, private shuttle garages like 'Garage Ashruf' or 'Garage de Paarl' offer shared transfers for approximately $12-15 USD. Public buses run from the main road (Indira Gandhiweg) near the airport, but they are not recommended for those with heavy luggage as the walk to the stop is significant. Shared garages are popular for that reason, because they keep the route into Paramaribo predictable while avoiding the delays that sometimes build up when everyone lands at once.\n\nThe terminal is modern with basic duty-free, currency exchange, and cafes. Arrive 3 hours early for international departures The airport is modern enough that the real question is which transfer style fits your budget and timing, not whether you can find a ride at all. That leaves the terminal busy enough to be useful without feeling rushed, and the basic cafs and currency exchange counters are usually enough for a quick international handoff. Locally.",

  "terminal_info": "Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM), locally known as Zanderij, is the primary international gateway to Suriname, located approximately 28 miles (45 km) south of the capital, Paramaribo. The airport operates from a single passenger terminal that handles all international and regional flights, serving as the main hub for the national carrier, Surinam Airways. The facility is currently undergoing a phased modernization project to enhance its passenger capacity and technical infrastructure.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities, including several caf\u00e9s and restaurants in both landside and airside areas, alongside duty-free shops like Paris Gallery. Travelers have access to free Wi-Fi through the Digicel network, on-site currency exchange services, and dedicated kiosks for local SIM cards in the arrivals hall. For premium passengers, the Sabuku Lounge is located airside on the upper level, offering a comfortable space with refreshments and quiet workspaces.\n\nGround transportation to central Paramaribo is primarily supported by shared minibus services and official taxis available 24/7, with the journey typically taking 60 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. Major car rental agencies maintain desks directly within the arrivals hall, and several secure parking options are available in front of the terminal building. Travelers are advised to confirm their flight status directly with the airline, as the terminal may have restricted access or reduced services during late-night hours.",
