  "connection_tips": "Pula Airport (PUY) is the primary gateway to the Istrian Peninsula of Croatia. Major car rental agencies have desks in the arrivals hall, which is the highly recommended way to explore the historic Roman ruins and the coastal resorts of Rovinj and Pore\u010d The terminal is modern and efficient, handling many seasonal international charters from Europe and the UK.\n\nThe terminal is small enough that the hotel shuttle, rental car desk, or taxi queue is the real arrival experience, especially when the summer tourist flow is at its busiest. That keeps the airport useful as an efficient gateway into the Istrian coast. A short transfer to Pula or Rovinj is the normal way the trip finishes.\n\nPula is the Istrian gateway, so the most useful ground options are the shuttle buses, taxis, and rental cars that move travelers toward Pula, Rovinj, Medulin, and the Adriatic coast. The airport works because the road network is fast and the tourism corridor is compact, which keeps the post-landing transfer simple even in high season. When the road to Pula is the priority, the airport shuttle or a rental car is the cleanest way to reach Rovinj, Medulin, or the rest of the Istrian coast without improvising a last-minute transfer.",

  "terminal_info": "Pula Airport (PUY) is the primary international aviation hub serving the Istrian peninsula in western Croatia, located approximately 4 miles (6 km) northeast of the city center. The airport operates from a single, modern integrated passenger terminal designed for high efficiency, primarily catering to significant seasonal tourist traffic during the summer months. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, connecting the historic Adriatic coast to major European hubs like London, Frankfurt, and Berlin via carriers such as Croatia Airlines, Ryanair, and easyJet.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities across its unified layout, featuring the 'Pulair Cafe' landside for pizza and local snacks, and a dedicated airside duty-free shop offering regional Istrian specialties including authentic truffles, olive oil, and local wines. Travelers have access to comfortable waiting lounges, free unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi, and a unique outdoor smoking terrace on the first floor that provides panoramic views of the aircraft operations. The facility is fully accessible, providing specialized assistance for passengers with reduced mobility, though visitors should note that the airport typically utilizes bus transfers or tarmac walking rather than jet bridges for boarding.\n\nGround transportation at PUY is exceptionally well-coordinated, featuring a dedicated airport shuttle bus service that is synchronized with all scheduled flight arrivals and provides a direct 15-minute link to the Pula central bus station. Official taxi ranks are readily available curbside, and numerous international car rental agencies maintain desks within the arrivals hall, which is the preferred choice for those exploring the nearby Roman Amphitheatre or the resort towns of Rovinj and Pore\u010d. Travelers are advised to arrive at least 2 to 3 hours before departures during the peak season (June to September) and should note that while the terminal is modern, it currently lacks on-site luggage storage facilities.",
