  "connection_tips": "Bonriki International Airport is Kiribati's main gateway, but it is still a remote atoll airport with simple facilities, so the connection is mostly about timing and local transport on South Tarawa. Minibuses on the main road give you the cheapest and most predictable way to move between Betio, Bairiki, and the airport, while the airport itself is best treated as a single-entry point for the country rather than a hub for multiple carrier choices. Arrive early, keep snacks and water with you, and plan the road leg around the island's slow, linear geography instead of expecting a fast terminal transfer. The airport does have scheduled service to several Pacific destinations and domestic islands, but the operational reality is still shaped by the atoll setting, not by a large terminal ecosystem. In practice, that means the best connection is the one you do not have to rush: if you are catching another flight, have your paperwork, baggage, and pickup already sorted before you reach the airport. If you are heading into South Tarawa, the minibus route is usually the most predictable and least expensive option, and it fits the island's layout better than trying to chase a private car across a narrow road network. The terminal is basic, which is fine as long as you expect a simple gateway rather than a hub with lots of backup options. If you approach Bonriki with calm timing, a small carry-on kit, and a realistic view of the island road system, the airport works well. If you treat it like a major transfer point, it will feel slower than it really is.",

  "terminal_info": "Bonriki International Airport is Kiribati's main airport on South Tarawa and the country's primary international gateway. The terminal is modest, but nationally it is critical because it links the capital atoll with Fiji and the outer-island domestic network. The airport therefore serves both international arrivals and the everyday inter-island movement that keeps Kiribati connected.\n\nBecause South Tarawa is a narrow atoll with limited land area, the airport's role is closely tied to the geography of the capital and the wider island chain. Travelers can expect a simple but important facility whose scale reflects the realities of island aviation rather than a lack of significance. That makes the terminal a practical link in a very isolated national network.\n\nFor Kiribati, the airport matters because it keeps the capital connected to the rest of the Pacific and to the outer islands that depend on domestic air service. Its terminal is not large, but the access it provides is nationally vital. In that sense, the airport is one of the country's most important pieces of transport infrastructure.",
