bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: Trust the 2-hour official clock on changeover days
    detail: >-
      Checkpoint opens 04:00 and follows the last departing check-in. Summer
      Friday/Sunday banks and spring-break Saturdays are when the general line
      actually hits that 25–35 band. PreCheck on the same checkpoint is the
      <10-minute snapshot.
    summary: >-
      Official security wants 2 hours domestic / 3 hours international; the
      homepage snapshot often prints 25–35 minutes in the general lane.
    category: timing
  - label: Layout
    title: 'One TSA, then A and B on the same sterile walk'
    detail: >-
      Bags, rentals, Quiet Room, and Door 6 taxis are downstairs. Dec 2025 added
      six Concourse A gates ($93.5M / 50,000 sq ft). AirNav still lists pushback
      PPR at A9–A12 and A14.
    summary: >-
      Ticketing and TSA sit upstairs next to each other; after screening you
      walk Concourse A or B without reclearing.
    category: terminal
  - label: Food
    title: Eat airside — the live card is Concourse A and B
    detail: >-
      FAQ still names Boardwalk Cafe (landside), Caribou, and GrabnGo — leftover
      vs the live dining cards. Official pages do not print standing outlet
      hours. Alcohol sales 10:00–02:00 Mon–Sat / noon–02:00 Sunday, consume
      where purchased.
    summary: >-
      Trust flymyrtlebeach.com/information/dining-shopping/: Nacho Hippo,
      Chick-fil-A, Steak 'n Shake, Subway, Salt & Tide, Pizza Hyena, Starbucks
      between A and B, Pavilion Bar & Grill on B.
    category: food
  - label: Status
    title: Spirit is gone; Contour is the new small card
    detail: >-
      Do not book from a 2024 “eleven airlines including Porter and Spirit”
      footer. Confirm Contour Beckley / Altoona / Parkersburg and Sun Country
      MSP on the FIDS — both are thin seasonal cards.
    summary: >-
      The live ten-airline list does not include Spirit. Official 2026 tables
      show Spirit at 0 after May; Contour appears in June–July.
