        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Rome?",
        "answer": "From Rome, Chicago O'Hare is the only Illinois airport with nonstop transatlantic service, so it is your primary gateway. It connects you efficiently to downtown Chicago and the wider Midwest. Midway Airport handles domestic connections but no direct flights from Rome, while smaller airports like those in Springfield or Peoria require a connection through a U.S. hub."
