        "question": "Which cities in Michoacán can I fly to directly or with one stop from Tijuana?",
        "answer": "From Tijuana you can fly non-stop to Morelia, the state capital. For other cities like Uruapan or Lázaro Cárdenas, one-stop flights via Mexico City or Guadalajara are typical. Morelia's airport is best for central and northern Michoacán, while Uruapan serves the avocado-growing highlands and Lázaro Cárdenas covers the coast."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Tijuana to Michoacán?",
        "answer": "Non‑stop flights from Tijuana to Morelia, the main airport in Michoacán, typically take about 2 hours 45 minutes, while flights to Uruapan are rare and usually require a connection. A one‑stop itinerary via Mexico City extends total travel time to roughly 5 to 7 hours. Westbound returns can be slightly shorter due to prevailing winds."
      },

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Tijuana to Michoacán?",

      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Michoacán and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "Popular areas in Michoacán include Morelia for colonial architecture, Pátzcuaro for Day of the Dead and lake scenery, the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve near Angangueo, and Uruapan for access to the Paricutín volcano area. Most visitors fly into Morelia International Airport, which serves the capital and is within driving distance of Pátzcuaro and the butterfly reserves. Uruapan has a smaller airport with limited commercial service, so Morelia is the main gateway for the entire region."
      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a passport or visa to travel from Tijuana to Michoacán?",
        "answer": "This is a domestic flight within Mexico, so U.S. citizens do not need a passport or visa for the flight itself. However, you must have a valid U.S. passport to enter Mexico initially from the U.S. and to re-enter the U.S. afterwards."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Michoacán are best to fly into from Tijuana?",
        "answer": "From Tijuana, the main airport in Michoacán is Morelia International Airport, which receives the most flights and is the best gateway to the state capital and nearby colonial cities. Uruapan International Airport serves the avocado-growing region and western Michoacán, while Lázaro Cárdenas Airport is an option for the coast, though flights are limited. Morelia works well for road trips across the state."
