  "connection_tips": "Sfax-Thyna International (SFA) is a modern gateway to central Tunisia. Several car rental agencies have desks in the arrivals hall If the plan changes, passport control, bags, and any customs step need slack, so the useful rhythm is the first solid recovery option rather than the terminal itself. The meaningful alternates are Tunis-Carthage, Gab\u00e8s-Matmata International Airport, Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities. Scheduled service is carried by Tunisair Express, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch. In practice, that means the airport works as Sfax's time-saving link to the rest of Tunisia.\n\nLocal taxis are the most common transport option, with a 15-minute ride to the city center costing roughly $6-$8 USD The airport is small and efficient, handling domestic flights to Tunis and international routes to France and Libya. For connection planning, passport control, bags, and any customs step need slack, so the useful rhythm is the first solid recovery option rather than the terminal itself.
