        "question": "Which cities in Ciudad de México can I fly to directly or with one stop from San Francisco?",
        "answer": "From San Francisco you can fly non-stop to Mexico City International Airport, the primary gateway to the region. For other cities in the metropolitan area, such as Toluca or Cuernavaca, you would typically connect through Mexico City or other Mexican hubs like Guadalajara, as there are no direct flights to those smaller airports. Travelers choose Mexico City International for central access to the capital, while Toluca is sometimes used for western suburbs or as an alternate when Mexico City flights are full, though it requires a longer ground transfer."
