        "question": "Which cities in Illinois can I fly to directly or with one stop from Ahmedabad?",
        "answer": "From Ahmedabad there are no non-stop flights to Illinois. The most practical airports are Chicago O'Hare and Chicago Midway, reached with one stop typically via hubs like Dubai, Doha, London, or New York JFK. O'Hare is the main international gateway and serves the entire state, while Midway is primarily domestic and closer to downtown Chicago. For other Illinois cities such as Peoria or Springfield, you would connect through Chicago or another major U.S. hub after your international flight. Choose O'Hare for most destinations and better flight options."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Ahmedabad to Illinois?",

Typical one-stop flights to Chicago O'Hare take 19 to 25 hours depending on layover duration, with common connecting points in the Middle East or Europe. Westbound return flights are often 1 to 2 hours shorter due to tailwinds."

      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a passport or visa to travel from Ahmedabad to Illinois?",
        "answer": "Since Ahmedabad is not in the United States, this route is not domestic. For U.S. citizens returning from Ahmedabad to Illinois, you need a valid U.S. passport to re-enter the United States. No visa is required for U.S. citizens entering the U.S., but your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Ahmedabad?",
        "answer": "From Ahmedabad to Illinois, Chicago O'Hare is the best option as it is the only Illinois airport with direct international connections from major hubs like Delhi or Mumbai, offering the most flights and easy access to Chicago and the wider state. Midway Airport serves domestic flights and is a secondary choice for reaching Chicago. For road trips across Illinois, O'Hare provides the best car rental facilities and highway access. No other Illinois airport receives significant service from India."
