        "question": "Which cities in Quintana Roo can I fly to directly or with one stop from Portland?",
        "answer": "From Portland you can fly non-stop to Cancun on some days, but most flights connect through hubs like Dallas, Houston or Denver. Cancun International serves Cancun and Playa del Carmen, while Cozumel and Tulum are reached via Cancun or one-stop flights. Choose Cancun for the Hotel Zone or Playa del Carmen, and Cozumel for diving."
