English language question - [MODIFIED]
-
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]
"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

The Ultimate Grid - The #1 MFC grid out there!BZZZZ! Incorrect sir. You are hanging around networking hardware too much! Most commonly in Canada people will say "ROOT" when talking about a direction of travel, i.e. "Root 66". When talking about the box that sends network packets around they will say "rowter". When English people say "Rooter" when discussing a "rowter" it always makes me smile.

Not if you are buying tickets, that would be incorrect. People are suggesting Route because they missed your later posting about it being used in the context of buying tickets for a flight. Route is the most literal translation, but more of a technical term than one used to describe what you purchase to go somewhere.

Ok, but when I was in the US, I am sure I've heard people say "rowt" when they mean "route". Maybe it's a non-Canadian North-American thing :-) Regards, Nish

The Ultimate Grid - The #1 MFC grid out there!I say "rowt" for "rowter", and when i'm going to "rowt" something. Kinda varies otherwise. See also creek: "krick" vs. "creak"

I'll try not to use the words your trying to understand when I define these :) Basically: A flight path is the road/path/route which the plane flies on. A route is usually an established flight-path, i.e. Heathrow - New York A flight is used to describe an instance of a plane on a route, i.e. the 10:35 from Heathrow to New York. Hope it helps Ed
