intercontinental flights
Cross-ocean air travel
Intercontinental flights are airplane journeys between continents—crossing oceans or vast landmasses to connect, say, North America with Europe or Asia with Australia.
The term emphasizes the scale and duration of such travel: The airline added several new intercontinental flights to its schedule.
