        "question": "Which airports in Quintana Roo are best to fly into from Vancouver?",
        "answer": "Cancún International Airport is the primary gateway to Quintana Roo from Vancouver, offering the most frequent flights and direct access to the Hotel Zone, Riviera Maya resorts, and road connections to Tulum and beyond. Cozumel International Airport serves the island directly, ideal for divers and beachgoers staying on Cozumel, though flights are less frequent. The new Tulum International Airport is announced but not yet operational, so confirm its current status; once open it will provide closer access to southern Riviera Maya and the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve."
