        "question": "Which cities in California can I fly to directly or with one stop from Nice?",
        "answer": "There are no non-stop flights from Nice to California. One-stop options connect through major European hubs like Paris, London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam to Los Angeles, San Francisco or San Diego. Los Angeles and San Francisco serve most of the state, while San Diego is best for the far south. Flight times average 14 to 17 hours eastbound and 12 to 14 hours westbound depending on connections. Prices are lowest in late autumn and winter, highest in summer, with midweek departures often cheaper. U.S. citizens need a valid passport; ESTA is required for visa-free entry under the Visa Waiver Program. Other nationalities should check visa requirements."

However, an electronic travel authorization under the ESTA scheme must be obtained before travel.\n\nThis is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",
