        "question": "Which cities in Ciudad de México can I fly to directly or with one stop from San Francisco?",
        "answer": "From San Francisco you can fly non-stop to Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport, which is the primary gateway. The newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport, located north of the city, is served by some carriers with a connection, typically through Mexico City itself or other Mexican hubs like Guadalajara. Most travelers choose Benito Juárez for its central location and extensive connections, while Felipe Ángeles may offer lower fares or alternative schedules but requires a longer transfer to downtown. Non-stop flights take about 4 hours southbound and 5 hours northbound."
