        "question": "Which airports in Texas are best to fly into from Calgary?",
        "answer": "From Calgary, the two main Texas airports with direct flights are Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston Intercontinental. Dallas/Fort Worth offers the most frequent service and is a major hub, making it ideal for connections across the state. Houston Intercontinental is a strong choice for the Gulf Coast, including Galveston and NASA, and also offers good onward links. For a road trip covering central Texas, flying into Dallas and driving south is efficient. Austin and San Antonio are reachable via connections but lack direct flights from Calgary."
