  "connection_tips": "Wonju Airport operates limited commercial service with Jin Air providing two daily flights to Jeju Island from this dual-use military facility. The limited passenger traffic means few amenities are available in the terminal area. Weather conditions in this mountainous region can affect operations, particularly during winter months. Ground transportation to Wonju city center includes taxis and buses, but options may be limited during off-peak hours.\n\nWith only one aircraft stand capable of accommodating Boeing 737-900 aircraft, scheduling is extremely tight and punctuality is essential. The passenger terminal is located 1.5 kilometers from the runway, requiring a mandatory 20-minute shuttle bus ride to reach your aircraft - allow extra time for this transfer. The airport's strategic military importance requires enhanced security protocols including baggage screening, passenger identification verification, and restricted movement within designated areas. Military exercises occasionally impact civilian flight schedules, so confirm your departure time before traveling to the airport.\n\nThe facility serves both Wonju and Hoengseong areas of Gangwon Province, providing an alternative to Seoul's airports for regional access. The airport primarily serves military purposes, historically designated as K-46 during the Korean War, so security procedures are more stringent than typical civilian airports. Photography of any airport facilities, runway, or military installations is strictly prohibited due to the shared military operations. Regional development plans may expand civilian operations in the future, but current capacity remains deliberately limited due to dual-use operational requirements and airspace management considerations.",

Use this page's published MCTs as the floor: 45 minutes for domestic transfers, 120 minutes when interline support is available. For longer stops in Wonju, assume terminal amenities may be secondary to the surrounding landside area, and keep backup routing through Incheon International Airport (ICN) and Gangneung Airport (K-18) (KAG) in mind if the day starts to slip.",
