  "connection_tips": "Islita Airport (PBP) serves the luxury resort area of Punta Islita on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. Ground transport consists of private 4WD shuttles and local taxis; the trip from the airstrip to the resort takes about 10 minutes Because the strip exists for resort guests, the useful move is to have the lodge or driver already watching the arrival bank rather than to expect a walk-up taxi stand.\n\nWhile it handles seasonal charters and private flights, it currently has NO regularly scheduled commercial airline operations A unique connection tip: during the rainy season (May-November), road access to the area involves several river crossings that can become impassable; aviation then becomes the only reliable link. During the dry season the road can be rough enough that a 4WD transfer is worth arranging in advance, especially if your lodge sits away from the main resort strip.\n\nMost travelers visiting the area are guests of the Hotel Punta Islita and coordinate their transfers directly through the resort. The terminal is a simple open-air structure. Arrive 45 minutes before departure for scenic charters Most visitors are already on a hotel or tour itinerary, so the airport works best when the ground leg is bundled with the booking rather than left to chance. River crossings in the rainy season are the main reason the lodge transfer should be prebooked.",

  "terminal_info": "Islita Airport (PBP), also known as Punta Islita Airport, is a specialized domestic aviation facility serving the remote Punta Islita area on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. The airport features a basic, open-air terminal structure designed to handle domestic arrivals and departures for the region's exclusive tourism market. It is situated in the village of Corozalito, approximately 1.9 miles (3 km) east of the primary resort destinations.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure is minimal and focused on essential transit services, providing a simple waiting area and check-in counters for domestic regional flights. While the facility lacks modern commercial amenities like full-service restaurants or retail shops, its compact size ensures rapid processing for travelers. Most visitors utilize pre-arranged private transfers or hotel-provided shuttles, such as those from the Hotel Punta Islita, which meet guests directly at the airstrip.\n\nOperationally, the airport features a single asphalt runway (03/21) and is primarily utilized for private charters and intermittent scheduled services connecting to San Jos\u00e9. Due to its remote location, ground access is via unpaved roads which can be challenging during the rainy season, often requiring a 4x4 vehicle. Travelers are advised to confirm flight availability directly with charter operators and to be mindful of strict luggage weight limits typical of small aircraft operations in Costa Rica.",
