        "question": "Which airports in Texas are best to fly into from Madrid?",
        "answer": "From Madrid, flying into Dallas/Fort Worth gives you the most one-stop options via major hubs. Houston Intercontinental is also a strong gateway with good connections. For a road trip across Texas, landing in Dallas or Houston works well because both have extensive car rental facilities and central locations. If your focus is on South Texas or the Gulf Coast, consider Houston. For West Texas or the Hill Country, Austin is a smaller but convenient airport with a growing number of connections."
