        "question": "Which cities in Illinois can I fly to directly or with one stop from Accra?",
        "answer": "There are no non-stop flights from Accra to Illinois. Most travellers fly into Chicago O'Hare with one stop, commonly via European hubs like London Heathrow, Amsterdam, or Paris, or via US gateways such as New York JFK or Atlanta. Chicago is the main entry point for Illinois, serving the entire state. For central or southern Illinois, you can connect through O'Hare to smaller airports like Peoria or Springfield, but flying into Chicago and driving or taking ground transport is often more practical."
