The meaningful alternates are El Nouzha Airport, Marsa Matruh International Airport, Siwa Oasis North Airport, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities. Scheduled service is carried by Local carriers, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch.

  "terminal_info": "Sidi El Barrani Airport is a remote western Egyptian airfield near the Libyan frontier and should be understood as a restricted regional facility rather than a normal passenger airport. It is relevant mainly for authorized or specialized travel.\n\nTravelers should not expect public-airport style services, easy walk-up transport, or mainstream route options. Any use of the airport should come with prior local coordination.\n\nIts importance is geographic and strategic rather than commercial. In practice, that means the airport only makes sense when the security and access picture is already understood.\n\nSQK sits near the frontier, so permits, security clearance, and local coordination matter more than terminal services or casual walk-up travel. It is a frontier airfield, not a passenger gateway, and that changes how you plan the trip.",
