domestic flight

Same-country plane trip

A domestic flight is an airline trip that stays within a single country's borders, as opposed to an international flight.

The term appears in travel booking, airport signage, and security protocols: Domestic flights don't require a passport.

Domestic terminals or gates handle these routes separately from international departures.
