        "question": "Which cities in Ciudad de México can I fly to directly or with one stop from Puerto Vallarta?",
        "answer": "Ciudad de México has one main gateway: Mexico City International Airport (MEX). You can fly non-stop from Puerto Vallarta to MEX in about 1 hour 40 minutes. There is also the smaller Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) north of the city, but direct flights from Puerto Vallarta are rare; you'd typically connect through MEX or another hub. Most travellers choose MEX for its central location and better access to downtown and southern areas, while NLU might be considered for northern suburbs, though it adds transfer time."
