        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Ciudad de México and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "Ciudad de México is a single city region, so the main airport is Benito Juárez International. The most popular areas are the historic Centro for colonial landmarks, Condesa and Roma for dining and nightlife, Polanco for upscale shopping and museums, and Coyoacán for Frida Kahlo’s house. Since all are within the city, flying into Benito Juárez is the only practical option. The new Felipe Ángeles airport is farther north and less convenient for most visitors."
