        "question": "Which cities in Ciudad de México can I fly to directly or with one stop from Houston?",
        "answer": "From Houston you can fly non-stop to Mexico City International Airport, the region's main gateway. The new Felipe Ángeles Airport sees limited service, often requiring a connection in Cancún or Monterrey. Most travelers choose MEX for its central location and better access to the city's core."
