        "question": "Which airports in California are best to fly into from London?",

San Diego is ideal for a beach-focused stay near the Mexican border, while San Jose works well for Silicon Valley and Monterey. If you plan to visit national parks like Yosemite or Sequoia, flying into San Francisco or Los Angeles and driving is often the most practical approach."
