        "question": "Which airports in Ciudad de México are best to fly into from Washington D.C.?",
        "answer": "When flying from Washington D.C. to Mexico City, you will land at Mexico City International Airport, the primary gateway for the region and the only airport receiving direct flights from the D.C. area. It offers the most flights and easy access to downtown, business districts, and cultural sites. For road trips, its central location and extensive car rental options make it a convenient starting point. The newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport serves some domestic and a few international routes but currently has no direct connections from Washington D.C., so it is less practical unless you have a specific reason to use it."
