        "question": "Which airports in British Columbia are best to fly into from Portland?",
        "answer": "From Portland, Vancouver International is the primary gateway with the most flights and best connections to the rest of British Columbia. It is ideal for visiting Vancouver itself and nearby resort areas like Whistler. For Vancouver Island, consider flying into Victoria International, which offers a more direct approach to the island's capital and attractions. Smaller airports like Kelowna work well for the Okanagan Valley but typically require a connection in Seattle or Vancouver."
