      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Illinois and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "Illinois offers Chicago for architecture and dining, Springfield for Lincoln sites and Galena for historic charm. Chicago's two airports serve the city, while downstate destinations are reachable via smaller airports like Springfield or Moline, often requiring a connection from Bangkok."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Bangkok?",
        "answer": "From Bangkok, Chicago O'Hare is the only practical international gateway for Illinois, receiving connecting flights via Asian or Middle Eastern hubs. It offers the most frequent service and best access to Chicago and beyond. Midway handles mostly domestic flights and is not a direct option from Bangkok. For road trips across the state, O'Hare's extensive car rental facilities and interstate access make it the clear choice."
