        "question": "Which airports in California are best to fly into from Rome?",
        "answer": "From Rome, Los Angeles International has the most direct and connecting flights, making it the primary gateway for Southern California. San Francisco International is another major hub with nonstop options, ideal for exploring the Bay Area and Northern California. If you are heading to San Diego or Orange County, consider connecting through a European or U.S. hub, as those airports lack direct Rome service. For a road trip, flying into Los Angeles and returning from San Francisco offers a convenient one-way itinerary."
