  "connection_tips": "Puerto Princesa International Airport serves as the main gateway to Palawan Island and the UNESCO World Heritage Puerto Princesa Underground River. The airport is conveniently located just 2.5 kilometers from Puerto Princesa city center, making ground transportation quick and easy via taxi, tricycle, or rental car.\n\nThe single 2,601-meter runway can handle wide-body aircraft operations. Most connections are domestic flights to Manila, Cebu, and Clark, with the airport ranking among the top 10 busiest in the Philippines The airport is a clean gateway into the city and the Underground River itinerary, but the transfer only works if the driver is already waiting.\n\nAllow extra time during peak tourist seasons (December-May) when the airport experiences highest passenger volumes In practice, the field is a simple local shortcut, not a place where travelers can expect city-style transport options. That keeps Puerto Princesa efficient for city and Underground River travel, but only when the driver is already waiting. That keeps Puerto Princesa efficient for both business and island tourism. For most arrivals, a taxi or tricycle into the city is faster than any improvised search on the curb, and that is especially true when you are connecting straight to a Palawan hotel or an Underground River pickup.",
