        "question": "Which airports in Illinois are best to fly into from Warsaw?",
        "answer": "From Warsaw, the main gateway to Illinois is Chicago O'Hare, which offers direct flights and the most connections across the state. Chicago Midway is an alternative with budget carriers, but you will likely connect through another U.S. city. For central Illinois, consider flying into O'Hare and driving, as regional airports like Peoria or Springfield have limited international service and would require multiple connections."
