        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Berlin?",
        "answer": "From Berlin, Chicago O'Hare is the main gateway to Illinois, offering the most frequent and direct connections. Chicago Midway is a secondary option with fewer international flights but can be convenient for domestic connections. For road trips, O'Hare's extensive car rental facilities and central location make it the best starting point. Other Illinois airports like Moline or Peoria are regional and not directly served from Berlin, so you would need a connecting flight through a U.S. hub."
