        "question": "Which cities in Ciudad de México can I fly to directly or with one stop from Los Angeles?",
        "answer": "Ciudad de México is a city, not a region, so the main airport is Mexico City International Airport (MEX), served by non-stop flights from Los Angeles. The newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) also handles some flights, but non-stop options from LAX are limited, so you may need a connection via other Mexican hubs. Most travellers head to MEX for its central location and extensive connections."

Most fly into Mexico City International Airport, which serves the whole region, as the city's new Felipe Ángeles Airport is farther north and less convenient for these central and southern neighborhoods."
