  "connection_tips": "Connecting at Francisco B. Reyes Airport (USU) is straightforward due to its single-terminal layout. Always carry some Philippine Pesos (PHP) for shuttle fares and local expenses, as ATMs are scarce outside Coron town center. If you are staying in Coron town, the van will drop you directly at your hotel or the pier. These vans wait for all scheduled arrivals and charge a fixed rate of approximately \u20b1150\u2013\u20b1250 per person for the 30-40 minute journey.\n\nMost regional carriers do not through-check bags to international airlines, so you must collect your luggage in Manila and re-check it at the international terminal. Most travelers arrive on domestic flights from Manila (MNL) or Cebu (CEB) and then proceed to their final destination in Coron town or the surrounding islands. A unique tip for travelers is to enjoy the scenic drive from the airport, which passes through lush cattle ranches and rolling hills that are uncharacteristic of most Philippine islands. Taxis and private hire vehicles are also available for a more direct and private transfer.\n\nMany of the region's luxury resorts, such as those on private islands, provide pre-arranged boat transfers that include a van pickup from the terminal. Ground transportation from USU to Coron town center is well-organized and primarily consists of shared van shuttles. If you are connecting to an international flight in Manila, allow at least 4-5 hours for the transfer, as flights from Busuanga can occasionally experience delays due to weather or technical factors.",

  "terminal_info": "Francisco B. Reyes Airport (USU) is the airport people use for Coron, but physically it is a Busuanga airfield serving the wider Calamian group rather than a terminal sitting in Coron town itself. That distinction shapes the whole passenger experience. You land on northern Palawan\u2019s ranch-and-hill landscape and then continue by road to Coron port, hotels, or resort transfer points, so the airport functions as the first stage of a longer island journey rather than as a doorstep terminal. CAAP treats it as Francisco B. Reyes (Busuanga) Airport, which is a better description of its role than the simplified tourism habit of calling it merely 'Coron airport.'\n\nThe terminal itself is much smaller than the scale of Coron tourism might lead first-time visitors to expect. This is not a large resort-airport complex with multiple piers or a heavy retail program; it is a compact domestic facility built around quick aircraft turnaround, short walking distances, and simple landside processing. The atmosphere is closer to a busy provincial gateway than to a polished international leisure terminal. That matters because almost all of the airport\u2019s real complexity happens after arrival, when passengers sort into hotel vans, shared transfers, dive-resort pickups, or pier-bound vehicles headed toward Coron and the outlying islands.\n\nWhat makes USU distinctive is the mismatch between the modest terminal and the outsized fame of the destination it serves. Travelers arrive through a straightforward provincial airport and then continue toward some of the Philippines\u2019 most photographed limestone lagoons, wreck-diving sites, and island resorts. The terminal therefore feels less like the destination itself and more like a pressure valve between heavy tourism demand and the practical limits of island infrastructure. That is why Busuanga can be both very busy and still operationally simple: the airport\u2019s job is not to impress with architecture, but to keep Coron\u2019s visitor pipeline moving through a small airfield that remains unmistakably regional in scale.",
