cross-country flights

Long domestic air travel

Cross-country flights are air journeys covering long distances, typically spanning a continent or most of one.

In the United States, the phrase usually means coast-to-coast travel: a cross-country flight from New York to Los Angeles.

In aviation training, a cross-country flight is any trip beyond a specified distance from the departure point, required for pilot certification.
