        "question": "Which cities in Maryland can I fly to directly or with one stop from Punta Cana?",
        "answer": "From Punta Cana you can fly non-stop to Baltimore/Washington International Airport, which is the main gateway to Maryland and also serves Washington D.C. There are no non-stops to other Maryland airports, but one-stop options via hubs like Miami, Charlotte or Atlanta can reach smaller airports such as Salisbury, though these are less common. Most travelers choose BWI for its proximity to Baltimore, Annapolis and central Maryland, while those heading to western Maryland or the D.C. suburbs may also consider Washington Dulles or Reagan National, which are in Virginia but close to the Maryland border."
