Baltimore serves central Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay area, while Washington Dulles or Reagan National airports are also options for the Washington D.C. suburbs, though they are in Virginia and D.C., not Maryland."

        "question": "Which airports in Maryland are best to fly into from Guatemala City?",
        "answer": "From Guatemala City to Maryland, the only practical option is Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, as it is the state's primary international gateway and receives all connecting flights from major U.S. hubs. It is centrally located for exploring Baltimore, Annapolis, and the Chesapeake Bay region, and offers easy access to Washington, D.C. via rail or road. Regional airports like Salisbury serve the Eastern Shore but lack direct service from Guatemala, so BWI is your best starting point for any Maryland trip."
