  "connection_tips": "Taitung Airport is the main staging point for travelers heading to Green Island and Orchid Island, so the key connection question is whether your onward small-plane transfer is timed to your mainland arrival. A pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Taitung City rather than a place to wait around. The meaningful alternates are Taoyuan International, Lyudao Airport, and Pingtung North Airport, which is why it helps to have a plan if weather or aircraft rotations shift the schedule. Scheduled service is carried by China Airlines in the airport data, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch.\n\nThe airport is only a short ride from the city center, which makes it easy to continue by taxi or local bus once you land. That said, the same short distance can create a false sense of flexibility, because island-connection flights often leave soon after the main service arrives. Keep your baggage compact, stay reachable by phone, and confirm the handoff with your lodging or island operator before you land. For connection planning, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, especially if you are trying to preserve a same-day connection to one of the offshore islands.\n\nIf you have extra time, the National Museum of Prehistory is one of the best nearby stopovers and is much more useful than spending time trying to improvise at the airport itself. Weather on the east coast can still disrupt the best-laid plans, particularly during typhoon season, so check updates before leaving the previous airport. In practice, that means the airport works as Taitung City's time-saving link to the rest of Taiwan, but it also acts as the departure point for more fragile island transfers that benefit from a tight schedule and a backup contact.",

  "terminal_info": "Taitung Airport (RCFN) stands as eastern Taiwan's primary domestic aviation gateway, connecting the isolated Taitung County region to Taipei through a critical air link that bridges the Central Mountain Range. The compact airport operates with a single runway and a focused regional mission, so the passenger experience is straightforward rather than sprawling. Its role is to shorten a long mountain journey and keep eastern Taiwan connected even when overland travel is slow.\n\nPassenger operations center on the Taitung-Taipei Songshan route, with Uni Air and Mandarin Airlines carrying most of the scheduled domestic traffic. The terminal is built for quick processing, not long dwell times, and that suits the airport's short-haul purpose. Emergency medical travel also depends on this air link, since serious cases from rural parts of Taitung County often need faster access to major hospitals in Taipei.\n\nThe airport is also the key jump-off point for travelers continuing to Green Island and Orchid Island, which gives it importance beyond the county itself. Weather can be a factor, especially when typhoons or crosswinds affect the east coast, so passengers benefit from checking schedules with extra care. In practice, Taitung Airport is small, efficient, and regionally essential, which is exactly what eastern Taiwan needs from its main domestic air gateway.",
