  "connection_tips": "Northeast Florida Regional Airport is mainly a private and charter field for St. Augustine, so the practical connection is a road transfer rather than an airline interchange. If you are arriving privately, pre-book the taxi, shuttle, or rental car and use the airport as the final access point into the historic district or the coast. For commercial flying, Jacksonville is the real hub, which makes UST useful as a local arrival airport but not as a place to connect between scheduled carriers. The airport is only a few miles north of downtown St. Augustine, so the last leg is short, but the real value comes from having the ground side sorted before you land. Official airport guidance lists rental cars, taxis, limousines, and private-car service, and the local visitor information also points to St. Augustine shuttle operators that run to Jacksonville International and other Northeast Florida transport nodes. That means UST works best when your itinerary already has a car or driver waiting, or when you are using it as a private-aviation access point for the city, the beaches, or the golf and resort areas around St. Johns County. It is also a decent fallback for people coming to the historic district who want to avoid the longer Jacksonville drive, but it is not a place to improvise a same-day airline connection. If you need a commercial network, Jacksonville remains the practical hub, while UST should be treated as the local arrival point that gets you quickly to St. Augustine itself.",
