        "question": "Which airports in California are best to fly into from Paris?",
        "answer": "From Paris, Los Angeles International and San Francisco International are the main entry points, with the most nonstop flights. Los Angeles is ideal for Southern California beaches, Hollywood and theme parks, while San Francisco suits the Bay Area, wine country and Yosemite. San Diego offers a smaller, convenient option with some nonstops, perfect for its coastal attractions. For a broader road trip, flying into one and out of the other works well, and connecting through a U.S. hub can open up airports like San Jose or Sacramento."
