But the instructions say: "PUBLIC FACTS you may use (rewrite in our words, cite source inline where it adds trust)". So we need to include inline citations for factual statements. Use parentheses with source. We need to ensure that we do not invent facts like exact pricing or times; we must label estimates. We need to produce 1600 words. That's roughly about 250-300 words per section if we have about 5-6 sections plus table and FAQ. Let's count approximate words: We need to ensure the final output is around 1600 words. Let's aim for about 1600-1700 words. That's a lot. We'll need to write fairly detailed content. We need to ensure the output is HTML fragment, starting with an

sections,
subheads, paragraphs, lists, for FAQ. We must be careful not to output any markdown. Only raw HTML. We'll need to embed the table. Also we need to use inline citations: e.g., (source: skyharbor.com).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Provide 6-7 Q&A. We need to embed local details: highway numbers, landmarks, distances. Use citations. We must keep the content factual: no invented facts. Use the given public facts: e.g., Phoenix Sky Harbor serves over 45 million passengers annually (though note that the source says "over 45 million passengers annually" - we can mention that). Actually the given facts: "Known as America's Friendliest Airport®, Phoenix Sky Harbor is one of the busiest in the country, serving over 45 million passengers annually." That's a fact. Also: "Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is the eighth-busiest airport in the U.S., serving 21 million passengers in 2020, according to Airports Council International-North America." So we can use that as a historical figure. We must cite accordingly. Also mention the $590 million modernization of Terminal 3 in 2020, $310 million eight-gate concourse in Terminal 4 opening summer 2022. Use citations. Also mention the distance from downtown, etc. We must ensure we have at least one comparison table. We'll have a table with 5 columns and maybe 6 rows (options).

We must ensure we do not include any invented pricing. Use "estimated $15-20" for ride-hailing, "estimated $25-35" for taxi, etc. Use "estimate" to indicate it's not exact. We need to keep the content around 1600 words. Let's approximate: Each paragraph ~100 words. If we have 10 paragraphs per section, each section ~1000 words? Actually we need total 1600 words. So we need to produce roughly 1600 words across all sections. That's about 8-10 paragraphs of ~150 words each? Actually typical blog post 1600 words is about 10-12 paragraphs of ~150 words each.

But we can still mention basics because the existing body is empty. But it's safe to not repeat existing content. However, we can include some basics but it's not strictly prohibited. The instruction says "do NOT repeat; you write ADDITIONAL sections only". So we should not write sections that duplicate the existing content. Since the existing body is empty, we can treat all content as new. But we should avoid repeating any content that might have been in the original blog post (which we don't see).
