        "question": "Which cities in Quintana Roo can I fly to directly or with one stop from Charleston?",
        "answer": "From Charleston you can fly into Cancún, which is the main gateway to Quintana Roo. There are no non-stop flights, so you will connect through hubs like Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas or Miami. Cancún serves the Riviera Maya and nearby areas, while the smaller airport in Cozumel is reachable with an extra connection, useful if you are diving or staying on the island. For Tulum, you can fly into Cancún and take ground transport, as the new Tulum airport has limited U.S. service. Most travelers choose Cancún for the widest flight options and easy access to the region's resorts."
