English language question - [MODIFIED]

[Shog9 0]

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" is for travel you have control over. :rolleyes:

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.

[Member 96]

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

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
