        "question": "Which cities in Maryland can I fly to directly or with one stop from Saint Thomas?",
        "answer": "From Saint Thomas you typically connect through a major U.S. hub to reach Baltimore–Washington International, the main airport for Maryland, which serves both Baltimore and the Washington, D.C. area. You may also find flights into smaller airports like Salisbury but these usually require two stops. Non‑stop flights from Saint Thomas to Maryland are not common, so a one‑stop connection via Charlotte, Miami or Atlanta is the usual route. Travellers generally pick BWI for its central location and easy access to most of the state."
