        "question": "Which cities in Michigan can I fly to directly or with one stop from Mumbai?",
        "answer": "There are no non-stop flights from Mumbai to Michigan. Most itineraries involve two stops, typically connecting through major European or Middle Eastern hubs like London, Dubai or Doha, then a U.S. gateway such as New York, Chicago or Atlanta before reaching Detroit, the state's main international airport. Detroit Metro Airport serves southeastern Michigan and is the most practical entry point. For western Michigan, Grand Rapids is an option but usually requires an additional domestic connection. Travellers heading to the Upper Peninsula or northern Michigan might fly into smaller airports like Traverse City or Marquette, almost always with two or more stops, making Detroit the most straightforward choice for most visits."
