        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Alberta and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "In Alberta, top destinations are Calgary for the Stampede and gateway to Banff, Edmonton for West Edmonton Mall and festivals, Banff and Jasper national parks for mountain scenery and Lake Louise for iconic alpine views. Fly into Calgary International for Banff, Lake Louise and southern parks, or Edmonton International for Jasper and northern adventures. Choosing Calgary generally offers shorter drives to the most visited mountain parks."

        "question": "Do I need a passport or visa to travel from Minneapolis to Alberta?",

      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Alberta are best to fly into from Minneapolis?",
        "answer": "From Minneapolis, Calgary International Airport has the most direct flights and is the best gateway for the Rockies, Banff, and southern Alberta. Edmonton International Airport offers a good alternative for the northern part of the province and connections to Jasper. Both airports work well for road trips, but Calgary is closer to major mountain resorts."
