  "connection_tips": "SSA is the main airport for Salvador, so the key choice after landing is how you want to get into the city or onward to the Bahian coast. For a clean handoff, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Salvador rather than a place to wait around. The meaningful alternates are Santa Maria-Aracaju International Airport, Recife, Jo\u00e3o Durval Carneiro Airport, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities. Scheduled service is carried by GOL, Azul, LATAM, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch. In practice, that means the airport works as Salvador's time-saving link to the rest of Brazil.\n\nMetro, buses, rideshare, and private transfer all work, but traffic can shape the real journey time more than the airport itself. For a same-day backup, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Salvador rather than a place to wait around.

In practice, that means the airport works as Salvador's time-saving link to the rest of Brazil.\n\nUse the airport as a full-service gateway rather than expecting a quick in-and-out during peak periods.

  "terminal_info": "Salvador International Airport is Bahia's main airport and the air gateway for Salvador and the wider northeastern coast. It is large enough to feel busy, especially during holiday periods, but still easier to navigate than Brazil's biggest hubs.\n\nThe airport matters not just for the city but also for beach destinations and regional onward travel across Bahia. Ground transport planning is important because road traffic into Salvador can be heavy.\n\nThe terminal is modern enough for a full-service international airport, but travelers benefit most from having their city transfer plan set before arrival.\n\nSalvador is Bahia's main air gateway, so the useful planning is the transfer into the city and beaches rather than the terminal itself, especially during holiday peaks when traffic can slow the approach.",
