        "question": "Which cities in Illinois can I fly to directly or with one stop from Taipei?",
        "answer": "From Taipei, you can fly directly to Chicago O'Hare on EVA Air or China Airlines. For other Illinois cities like Springfield, Peoria, or Bloomington, you'll typically connect through Chicago or other U.S. hubs like Dallas or Denver, as these smaller airports aren't served directly from Taipei. Choose Chicago for the city and northern Illinois; for central or southern Illinois, a connecting flight to a regional airport is more practical."
