        "question": "Which cities in California can I fly to directly or with one stop from Brussels?",
        "answer": "From Brussels you can fly non-stop to Los Angeles and San Francisco, which serve Southern and Northern California respectively. For other cities like San Diego, Sacramento or San Jose, you will typically connect through a major European hub such as London, Amsterdam or Frankfurt, or a U.S. gateway like New York or Atlanta. Choose Los Angeles for beaches and theme parks, San Francisco for the Bay Area and wine country, and San Diego for a more relaxed coastal experience."
