        "question": "Which cities in Illinois can I fly to directly or with one stop from Tokyo?",
        "answer": "From Tokyo you can fly non-stop to Chicago O'Hare, the main gateway to Illinois. One-stop options via hubs like Dallas, Los Angeles or San Francisco also serve O'Hare, while smaller airports such as Midway or downstate cities like Peoria or Springfield typically require a connection through Chicago or another major U.S. hub. Travellers choose O'Hare for direct access to Chicago and northern Illinois, while Midway offers a closer option for the city's south side. For central or southern Illinois, connecting flights from O'Hare are common."
