  "connection_tips": "Salina Cruz Airport (SCX) is a regional facility in Oaxaca, Mexico, primarily serving the local industrial port and refinery. The airport handles domestic charters and regional flights, serving as a vital link for the maritime and petroleum industries At street level, the practical plan is the onward road or domestic transfer, not the building footprint, because the airport mainly keeps Salina Cruz tied into the regional network. The meaningful alternates are Los Angeles International Airport, Bah\u00edas de Huatulco International Airport, Aeropuerto Nacional General Antonio C\u00e1rdenas Rodr\u00edguez, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities. Scheduled service is carried by Regional carriers, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch.\n\nGround transportation is primarily via local taxis and pre-arranged private shuttle services; the airport is about 15-20 minutes from the city center For a clean handoff, the practical plan is the onward road or domestic transfer, not the building footprint, because the airport mainly keeps Salina Cruz tied into the regional network. The meaningful alternates are Los Angeles International Airport, Bah\u00edas de Huatulco International Airport, Aeropuerto Nacional General Antonio C\u00e1rdenas Rodr\u00edguez, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities.
