        "question": "Which airports in Maryland are best to fly into from St Croix?",
        "answer": "No direct flights operate from St Croix to Maryland. The best option is to connect through a major hub like Miami or Atlanta and fly into Baltimore/Washington International, which offers the most flights and is centrally located for exploring Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington D.C. Ronald Reagan Washington National is closer to downtown D.C. but has fewer connecting options. For road trips to western Maryland or the Eastern Shore, BWI remains the most practical gateway."
