        "question": "Which cities in Quintana Roo can I fly to directly or with one stop from Fort Lauderdale?",
        "answer": "From Fort Lauderdale you can fly non-stop to Cancún, the main gateway to Quintana Roo. For destinations farther south like Tulum or Chetumal, you typically connect through Cancún or Mexico City. Cancún serves the northern hotel zone and Riviera Maya, while a connection to Chetumal gets you closer to Bacalar or the Costa Maya cruise port. Cozumel can be reached by a short flight from Cancún or a ferry from Playa del Carmen. Most travelers choose Cancún for its frequency and direct access, then use ground transport to reach their final destination."

        "answer": "Cancún International Airport has the most flights from Fort Lauderdale and is the best choice for the Hotel Zone, Riviera Maya resorts, and connections to the rest of the region. Cozumel International Airport is ideal if you are staying on the island and want a shorter transfer, but flights are less frequent. The new Tulum airport is starting to receive flights and will be useful for southern beach towns once service expands."
