        "question": "Which airports in Ciudad de México are best to fly into from Houston?",
        "answer": "Mexico City International Airport is the main gateway from Houston, offering the most flights and easiest access to the city center and nearby business districts. The newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport, located north of the city, serves a smaller number of routes and can be useful if your destination is in the northern part of the metropolitan area. Toluca Airport is farther west and mainly handles domestic and some cargo flights, so it is rarely the best choice for travelers arriving from Houston."
