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

Common one-stop routes go to San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego via major hubs like Dubai, Doha, London, Frankfurt or Singapore. Choose San Francisco for the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, Los Angeles for Southern California beaches and entertainment, or San Diego for a smaller airport near the border."
