        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Quintana Roo and how does that affect where I should fly?",

Cancún International serves all three, but Cozumel island requires a separate flight or ferry from Playa del Carmen. Pick Cancún airport for mainland stays and consider a connecting flight to Cozumel if diving is your focus."

        "question": "Which airports in Quintana Roo are best to fly into from Sacramento?",
        "answer": "From Sacramento, Cancún International is the primary gateway to Quintana Roo, offering the most flights and direct access to the Hotel Zone and Riviera Maya. Cozumel International is best if your main destination is the island itself, though flights are less frequent. The new Tulum airport serves the southern Riviera Maya and may offer limited options, so check current availability. For a road trip, fly into Cancún and drive south along the coast to reach Tulum and beyond."
