  "connection_tips": "Plovdiv International Airport (PDV) is the primary gateway to southern Bulgaria and the Rhodope Mountains. Ground transport is efficient during scheduled flights; a dedicated airport shuttle bus connects the terminal directly to the South Bus Station (city center) for a fare of roughly \u20ac5 (10 BGN). The bus typically departs 30 minutes after every scheduled flight arrival.\n\nTaxis are also available outside arrivals and take about 15-20 minutes to reach town for a fare of approx. \u20ac15-20. The terminal is modern and handles regular flights from London and seasonal international charters Taxis are also available outside arrivals and take about 15-20 minutes to reach town, which makes the airport straightforward for quick Rhodope trips but less useful if you have not arranged the rest of the day.\n\nArrive 2 hours early for all departures. Facilities include basic cafes, duty-free shops, and free fast Wi-Fi. This is an ideal entry point for visiting the historic Plovdiv Old Town (UNESCO) It is a good fit for visitors who want city access without the size and congestion of Sofia, especially when the itinerary includes the old town or the surrounding hills. A shuttle or taxi should already be booked for the town hop.",

  "terminal_info": "Plovdiv International Airport (PDV), also known as Plovdiv Krumovo Airport, is a modern regional facility serving as a critical gateway to southeastern Bulgaria and the nearby ski resorts of Pamporovo, Borovets, and Bansko. The airport operates from a single, integrated passenger terminal inaugurated in 2009, designed for high efficiency and intuitive navigation. It serves as a vital infrastructure link, connecting the historic city of Plovdiv to major European hubs, particularly through regular and seasonal charter flights.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides a range of essential amenities for travelers, including free unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi and a comfortable airside duty-free shop offering local Bulgarian specialties, spirits, and travel essentials. Passengers have access to a small caf\u00e9 and snack bar in the public area, alongside a premium VIP and business lounge for those seeking a more exclusive waiting environment. The facility is fully accessible, featuring specialized restroom facilities, ramps, and dedicated assistance for passengers with reduced mobility.\n\nGround transportation to central Plovdiv, located approximately 7 miles (12 km) to the northwest, is well-supported by local taxi services and several major car rental agencies like Hertz and Thrifty which maintain desks inside the terminal. While formal public transit links are aligned with flight schedules, the airport's proximity to the Mavrudovo and Krumovo railway stations provides an alternative link to the national rail network. Additionally, the Aviation Museum Plovdiv is located right next to the airport, making the facility a popular destination for aviation enthusiasts.",
