  "connection_tips": "Port Harcourt International Airport is one of Nigeria's major gateways, so the connection question is really about road traffic, security, and a reliable pickup rather than about terminal complexity. The airport serves a busy oil and business market, which means you should expect the ground transfer into Port Harcourt to vary with traffic and time of day. For that reason, hotel cars, prepaid transfers, and trusted drivers are usually better than improvising at the curb after landing. If you are staying in the city or heading to a worksite in the Niger Delta, the airport is useful because it gives you direct access, but it still needs a clean road plan to avoid delays. This is not the place to assume a casual taxi will solve everything instantly, especially if you are arriving late or carrying documents and equipment. The passenger side of the airport is functional, but the real connection challenge is getting from the terminal to the exact destination with as little friction as possible. That makes PHC a place where a little advance coordination pays off more than anywhere else on the list. If your itinerary is simple, the airport is fine; if it is time-sensitive, the pickup should already be arranged before you fly. Treat the airport as the controlled first step into Port Harcourt, and the rest of the trip becomes much more manageable.",

  "terminal_info": "Port Harcourt International Airport (PHC) is Nigeria's third-busiest aviation facility, serving as the primary air gateway to the oil-rich Niger Delta region. The airport complex consists of two distinct passenger structures: a state-of-the-art International Terminal inaugurated in 2018 and a separate, older Domestic Terminal. Situated in Omagwa approximately 18 miles (30 km) north of the city center, it acts as a critical infrastructure hub for both the national petroleum industry and international commercial transit.\n\nThe modern 28,000-square-meter International Terminal provides a range of contemporary amenities across its two levels, featuring 24 check-in counters and specialized passenger boarding bridges for direct aircraft access. Travelers have access to multiple executive and VIP lounges, a variety of duty-free shops, and diverse dining options offering both local Nigerian and international cuisine. The facility is equipped with comprehensive security screening systems, currency exchange bureaus, and basic medical services to ensure a streamlined experience for international passengers.\n\nGround transportation at PHC is well-supported by authorized airport taxi ranks and on-site car rental modules, providing a 45 to 60-minute connection to the Port Harcourt city center and major industrial zones. Shared hotel shuttles and ride-sharing apps like Uber and Bolt are also readily available at the arrivals area. While the new terminal has significantly modernized international operations, domestic travelers utilize the original building, which features essential waiting areas and standard check-in services for frequent daily links to Lagos and Abuja.",
