        "question": "Which airports in Baja California Sur are best to fly into from Phoenix?",
        "answer": "Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is the main gateway from Phoenix, offering the most flights and serving the popular resort areas of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo.

For a road trip combining both coasts, flying into Los Cabos and driving north to La Paz is a practical option."
