    Some specific names can't be translated using the dictionary... How do you call, in English, a flight "path", for example Los Angeles-Toronto? In Italian it's "tratta". Thanks! [edit] Ok, guys, I've got the point. I'll call it "route". Thank you all for your help! :rose: [/edit] ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us.

        Thank you, but I need to be sure of the answer. When I say "path", I mean it in the "commercial" way: when you buy a ticket for a flight, you call it Route, path or what? I've visited some airlines' webistes, but I've not understood. :-O Thanks. ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA]

                    Usually airlines will call the collection of all the flights you're taking on a trip your "itinerary".

                      Route would do, though in England you should pronounce it as "root" and in the US/Canada as "rouwt". Regards, Nish

                                  "Flight" or "Ticket" or "fare" most often depending on the usage. I.E. "I would like to buy a return ticket to Rome departing from London around March 12th and returning around March 23rd" "What is the best fare for a return ticket to Rome departing from London around March 12th" "I would like a ticket for a flight to Rome on March 12 departing London"

                                      It would depend on the context. Not being a pilot, i'd say something like: "I'm flying from COS to LSE. The first leg of the flight is from COS to MSP, followed by a five hour layover, then on to LSE." But if you're looking to accurately describe the exact route taken by a plane, you'd likely use more formal language.

                                          Route would do, though in England you should pronounce it as "root" and in the US/Canada as "rouwt". Regards, Nish
