Final Destination

Last stop ahead

Final Destination is a destination with no further travel beyond it—the last stop on a journey: Our final destination is Prague, but we're stopping in Vienna along the way.

The phrase often appears in travel contexts for tickets, flights, or itineraries.

It also names a horror film franchise where characters try to cheat death, giving the phrase an ominous pop-culture resonance: Getting on that rickety plane felt very Final Destination.
