        "question": "Which cities in Massachusetts can I fly to directly or with one stop from San José?",
        "answer": "From San José you can fly non-stop to Boston Logan, the main international gateway for Massachusetts. Other cities like Worcester or Springfield lack direct flights, so you would connect through Boston or other U.S. hubs such as Newark or Fort Lauderdale. Boston serves the entire state well, but if heading to western Massachusetts, consider flying into Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, which is closer than Boston and reachable with one stop via hubs like Atlanta or Charlotte."

        "question": "Which airports in Massachusetts are best to fly into from San José?",
