        "question": "Which airports in Malaysia are best to fly into from Surabaya?",
        "answer": "From Surabaya, Kuala Lumpur International Airport is the primary gateway with the most flight options and connections across Malaysia via bus, train, or domestic flights. Penang is a good alternative for northern beaches and culture, while Kota Kinabalu works well for Borneo adventures. Note that there are no direct long-haul flights from the U.S. to Surabaya, so your journey would involve a transfer, likely in Kuala Lumpur or another Asian hub."

      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Malaysia?",
        "answer": "Malaysia has a tropical climate with two main monsoon seasons. The best time to visit the west coast, including Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Langkawi, is from December to March, while the east coast, including the Perhentian Islands and Tioman, is best from April to October. For a balance of good weather and reasonable prices, consider the shoulder months of March to April and September to October, when crowds are lighter than peak holiday periods."
