        "question": "Which airports in Quintana Roo are best to fly into from San Jose?",
        "answer": "From San Jose, Cancún International Airport is the primary gateway to Quintana Roo, receiving the most flights via connecting hubs. It is best for resorts in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and the Riviera Maya, and works well for road trips south toward Tulum and beyond. Cozumel International Airport serves the island directly but requires a connection, often through Houston or Dallas, and is ideal if your stay is focused on Cozumel. The new Tulum airport offers limited service and may require two connections, suiting travelers headed straight to the southern coast."
