        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Illinois and how does that affect where I should fly?",

        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Seattle?",

Chicago Midway offers a smaller, closer-in option for the city itself. For central Illinois, consider flying into O'Hare and driving, as regional airports like Peoria or Springfield have limited service and often require connections."
