        "question": "Which cities in California can I fly to directly or with one stop from Johannesburg?",
        "answer": "From Johannesburg you can fly non-stop to Los Angeles, which serves as the main gateway to Southern California. For other Californian cities like San Francisco, San Diego or Sacramento, you typically connect through European or Middle Eastern hubs such as London, Dubai or Doha, or via US hubs after clearing customs in Los Angeles. Choose Los Angeles for Hollywood, beaches and Disneyland, San Francisco for the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, and San Diego for a relaxed coastal vibe."

      "q1": {

Flights to Los Angeles or San Francisco usually take 22 to 26 hours total, depending on the connection. Eastbound and westbound times are similar because the great‑circle route goes over the Atlantic."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Johannesburg to California?",

Your airport choice depends on whether you prefer urban energy, coastal relaxation or wilderness."
