A flight is a journey made in an aircraft.
The idea
Flight is countable: a flight, two flights. Use a flight to Rome for the destination, book a flight for reserving it and a delayed flight for a later departure or arrival than scheduled.
Examples
- Our flight leaves at noon.
- She booked a flight to Rome.
- The flight was delayed by an hour.
- Two flights arrive this evening.
- How long was your flight?
- They missed their flight yesterday.
