        "question": "Which airports in New York are best to fly into from Medellín?",
        "answer": "From Medellín, your main options to New York are John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. JFK tends to have more direct flights and serves as a major hub for international arrivals, making it a solid choice whether you are headed to Manhattan, Brooklyn or connecting onward. Newark can be more convenient for Lower Manhattan and parts of New Jersey, and it often sees competitive pricing. LaGuardia is closer to Midtown but rarely handles direct flights from Medellín, so you would need a connection. For road trips across the region, JFK and Newark both offer easy access to major highways, though Newark can be slightly better for heading west or south into the broader Northeast."
