        "question": "Which cities in New York can I fly to directly or with one stop from Chennai?",
        "answer": "From Chennai you can fly non-stop to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on Air India. One-stop options via major hubs like Dubai, Doha, or London also serve JFK, Newark (EWR), and sometimes LaGuardia (LGA). JFK and EWR are the main international gateways for the New York City area, while LGA is mostly domestic with limited international service. If you are heading to Manhattan or Brooklyn, JFK and EWR are both convenient, with JFK being closer to Long Island and Queens. Newark is better for destinations in New Jersey or western Connecticut."
