        "answer": "From Boston, Vancouver International is the primary gateway with the most flight options and serves as a hub for exploring the city, nearby mountains, and ferries to Vancouver Island. If your focus is specifically on Victoria or the island, connecting through Vancouver or a U.S. hub to Victoria International can be convenient.
