        "question": "Which cities in Massachusetts can I fly to directly or with one stop from Beacon Hill?",
        "answer": "From Sint Maarten you can fly non-stop to Boston Logan, the main international gateway for Massachusetts. For other cities like Worcester or Springfield, you would typically connect through Boston or a U.S. hub such as New York JFK, Miami or Charlotte. Boston serves the eastern part of the state well, while Bradley International Airport in nearby Connecticut can be an alternative for western Massachusetts, though it requires a connection from Sint Maarten. Travellers usually choose Boston for its direct flights and central location, then drive or take ground transport to other parts of the state."
