        "question": "Which airports in Baja California Sur are best to fly into from Sacramento?",
        "answer": "From Sacramento, Los Cabos International Airport at San José del Cabo is the main gateway and handles the bulk of flights. It serves both Cabo San Lucas and the resort corridor and is the best choice whether you are staying in the area or starting a road trip north. La Paz and Loreto airports receive fewer flights and often require a connection, but they work well if you plan to explore the Sea of Cortez coast away from the main resort zone."
