        "question": "Which cities in Maryland can I fly to directly or with one stop from Aruba Island?",
        "answer": "From Aruba you can fly non-stop to Baltimore (BWI), which serves most of Maryland. For other parts of the state, a one-stop connection through a major hub like Charlotte or Atlanta can get you to smaller airports such as Salisbury or Hagerstown, but Baltimore is generally the most practical entry point."

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Maryland and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "In Maryland, Baltimore draws visitors for the Inner Harbor and cultural sites, served by Baltimore/Washington International. The Chesapeake Bay area lures boaters and seafood lovers, accessible via BWI or Salisbury Regional on the Eastern Shore. For beaches, Ocean City is popular in summer, best reached via Salisbury Regional. History buffs often head to Annapolis for the Naval Academy, also close to BWI. Most travellers choose BWI as the main gateway, but Salisbury is a smaller option for the coast."

        "question": "Do I need a passport or visa to travel from Aruba Island to Maryland?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens traveling from Aruba to Maryland do not need a visa, but they must present a valid U.S. passport for re-entry. Your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay in the U.S., and it's advisable to ensure it is not expired before travel."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Maryland are best to fly into from Aruba Island?",
        "answer": "From Aruba, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is the main gateway to Maryland. It has the most flights and is the best for reaching Baltimore, Annapolis and central Maryland. For the Washington D.C. suburbs, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is closer, though it is in Virginia. Neither airport serves resorts directly, but BWI works well for road trips to the Eastern Shore or Western Maryland."
