  "connection_tips": "Songkhla Airport (SGZ) is primarily a military facility and does not currently host regular scheduled commercial passenger flights. Taxis and Grab are also available for a more direct transfer Operationally, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Songkhla rather than a place to wait around. The meaningful alternates are Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Hat Yai International Airport, Pattani Airport, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities. Scheduled service is carried by Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch. In practice, that means the airport works as Songkhla's time-saving link to the rest of Thailand.\n\nMost travelers to the region use Hat Yai International Airport (HDY), located about 30km away When delays ripple through the schedule, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Songkhla rather than a place to wait around. The meaningful alternates are Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Hat Yai International Airport, Pattani Airport, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities.
