        "question": "Which airports in Quintana Roo are best to fly into from Columbus?",
        "answer": "Cancún International Airport is the primary gateway to Quintana Roo and handles virtually all flights from the U.S., including connections from Columbus. It is the best choice for resorts in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum, and works well for road trips along the Riviera Maya. Cozumel International Airport serves the island directly but has fewer flights and often requires a connection. The new Tulum airport is opening gradually but currently has very limited service, so Cancún remains the most practical option."
