        "question": "Which cities in Illinois can I fly to directly or with one stop from Cairo?",
        "answer": "There are no direct flights from Cairo to Illinois. Typically, you fly into Chicago O'Hare with one stop in European hubs like Istanbul, Frankfurt, or London. Chicago is the primary gateway to Illinois, with easy connections to other cities like Springfield or Peoria via short domestic flights or ground transport. For Chicago itself, both O'Hare and Midway are options, but international flights mainly use O'Hare. Choose Chicago for most visits; for central or southern Illinois, consider connecting through Chicago or driving."

      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Cairo?",
        "answer": "From Cairo to Illinois, Chicago O'Hare is the main gateway with the most international connections, often via European or Middle Eastern hubs.

Regional airports like Peoria or Springfield have limited service and are not practical for international arrivals."
