commuter flight
Short-haul airline trip
A commuter flight is a short-haul airline service connecting smaller cities to larger hub airports, typically covering distances under 500 miles.
These flights use smaller aircraft and run frequently throughout the day to accommodate business travelers: She caught the 6 a.m. commuter flight to Chicago.
The term emphasizes routine, regular travel rather than occasional trips.
