        "question": "Which cities in Illinois can I fly to directly or with one stop from Kraków?",
        "answer": "From Kraków, you cannot fly nonstop to Illinois. The most practical entry point is Chicago O'Hare, reachable with one stop via major European hubs like Frankfurt, Munich, Warsaw, or Vienna. Chicago is the primary gateway for Illinois, serving the entire state. Other Illinois airports like Midway or downstate cities require an additional connection, usually through Chicago or another U.S. hub, making O'Hare your best option."

      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Kraków to Illinois?",

Westbound flights are usually longer due to headwinds, while eastbound returns can be about 1 to 2 hours shorter."

        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Illinois and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "Most visitors to Illinois focus on Chicago for its architecture and culture, with Chicago O'Hare being the primary international gateway. Springfield attracts history buffs to Lincoln sites, reachable via Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport. Galena offers charming small-town vibes and is best accessed through Dubuque Regional in Iowa.

      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a passport or visa to travel from Kraków to Illinois?",
        "answer": "As a U.S. citizen, you must present a valid U.S. passport to re-enter the United States from Poland; no visa is required for your return. Ensure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay, as U.S. regulations do not impose a six-month validity requirement for citizens."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Kraków?",
        "answer": "From Kraków, no nonstop flights serve Illinois, so you will connect through a European hub. Chicago O'Hare is the main international gateway with the most flights, ideal for exploring Chicago and onward connections. Chicago Midway handles mainly domestic low-cost carriers, so it is less useful for international arrivals. Other regional airports like Moline or Peoria require additional connections and are only practical if your final destination is nearby."
