        "question": "Which cities in Washington can I fly to directly or with one stop from Houston?",
        "answer": "From Houston you can fly non-stop to Seattle, the primary gateway to Washington. For other cities like Spokane or smaller regional airports, you typically connect through Seattle or other West Coast hubs such as Denver or Salt Lake City. Seattle serves the Puget Sound area and is the main entry point for most visitors, while Spokane is more convenient for eastern Washington and the Idaho border region."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Houston to Washington?",
        "answer": "Non-stop flights from Houston to Seattle typically take about 4½ to 5 hours, while flights to Spokane often take 5 to 6 hours with one stop. Westbound flights may be slightly longer than eastbound returns due to prevailing winds."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Houston to Washington?",

United and Alaska Airlines offer direct service from Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. For Spokane, you can find non-stops on Alaska Airlines. If your preferred airport is not served directly, common one-stop routings go through Denver or Salt Lake City, with total travel times typically ranging from 5 to 8 hours."

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Washington and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "In Washington, travellers often visit Seattle for urban attractions, the Olympic Peninsula for nature, the San Juan Islands for scenery and Spokane for eastern Washington. Fly into Seattle-Tacoma for Seattle and the coast, or Spokane International for the inland region. Your airport choice hinges on whether you want city life, coastal wilderness or the inland northwest."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Washington are best to fly into from Houston?",
        "answer": "Seattle-Tacoma International is the main gateway from Houston, with the most flight options and a central location for exploring Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula. Spokane International is better for eastern Washington and the Inland Northwest, while smaller airports like Bellingham or Tri-Cities can be convenient for specific destinations but offer fewer flights."
