        "question": "Which cities in Jalisco can I fly to directly or with one stop from San Francisco?",
        "answer": "From San Francisco you can fly non-stop to Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, the two main gateways to Jalisco. Guadalajara serves the interior and cultural heart of the state, while Puerto Vallarta is best for beach resorts along the Pacific coast. One-stop flights via Mexico City, Los Angeles or Houston offer additional flexibility, especially for smaller airports like Manzanillo, though that airport is in neighboring Colima state. Choose Guadalajara for cities like Tequila and Lake Chapala, and Puerto Vallarta for coastal destinations."
