        "question": "Which cities in Maryland can I fly to directly or with one stop from Paris?",
        "answer": "From Paris you can fly non-stop to Baltimore/Washington International Airport, serving central Maryland. Alternatively, one-stop flights via East Coast hubs like New York, Philadelphia or Atlanta can reach BWI or Washington Dulles, which is nearby. BWI is convenient for Baltimore and Annapolis, while Dulles works for western Maryland suburbs."
