        "question": "Which airports in Minnesota can I fly into from Dominican Republic?",
        "answer": "From the Dominican Republic, the main arrival airport in Minnesota is Minneapolis-Saint Paul (MSP), which has the most long-haul service. Non-stop flights are available from Punta Cana (PUJ) on some airlines seasonally. Other Dominican airports like Santo Domingo (SDQ) require a connection, typically through a US hub. MSP is the primary gateway and offers the best regional connections within Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. Fares are generally lowest midweek and during off-peak seasons, with MSP often being the cheapest option compared to smaller regional airports like Duluth or Rochester, which require an additional domestic flight."
