        "question": "Which cities in Colorado can I fly to directly or with one stop from Montreal?",

For other cities like Colorado Springs, Aspen, or Vail, you'll connect through Denver or other U.S. hubs. Denver serves the Front Range and ski transfers, while Colorado Springs is closer to Pikes Peak and southern attractions. Regional airports are best for direct mountain access."

        "question": "Which airports in Colorado are best to fly into from Montreal?",
        "answer": "From Montreal to Colorado, Denver International Airport is the primary gateway with the most flights and best connections to ski resorts and cities.
