        "question": "Which cities in Michigan can I fly to directly or with one stop from Manila?",
        "answer": "There are no non-stop flights from Manila to Michigan. One-stop options are available to Detroit, the main international gateway, often via hubs like Tokyo, Seoul, or major U.S. cities such as Chicago or Los Angeles. For other Michigan cities like Grand Rapids or Lansing, you would typically connect through Detroit or another U.S. hub."

Flying into Detroit typically takes 18 to 22 hours total, while reaching Grand Rapids, Lansing, or other Michigan airports usually requires two stops and 22 to 26 hours.
