        "question": "Which airports in British Columbia are best to fly into from San Diego?",
        "answer": "From San Diego, Vancouver International Airport is the primary gateway with the most flight options, ideal for exploring the city, nearby Whistler resort, and the southern coast. Victoria International Airport is a smaller alternative if your focus is on Vancouver Island and the provincial capital. For road trips deeper into the interior, flying into Vancouver and renting a car is typically the best approach, as regional airports like Kelowna have limited direct connections from San Diego."
