        "question": "Which cities in Illinois can I fly to directly or with one stop from Jeddah?",
        "answer": "From Jeddah there are no non-stop flights to Illinois. The most practical one-stop options are to Chicago O'Hare, the main international gateway for the state. Common connecting hubs include Istanbul, Doha, Dubai, or European cities like London and Frankfurt. Chicago is ideal for visiting the city itself or as a starting point for exploring the rest of Illinois, such as Springfield or the Great Lakes region. Regional airports like Midway, Moline, or Peoria require an additional connection from Chicago or another major U.S. hub."

        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Jeddah?",
        "answer": "From Jeddah, the most practical airport to fly into in Illinois is Chicago O'Hare, which handles nearly all long-haul international arrivals and offers the widest range of onward connections. Chicago Midway is a secondary option for domestic flights, but it does not receive direct flights from Jeddah. If your final destination is downstate, you would typically connect through O'Hare to regional airports like St. Louis or Indianapolis, as direct international service to smaller Illinois airports is not available."
