international flights

Planes crossing borders

International flights are air travel journeys that cross national borders, departing from one country and arriving in another.

They typically involve passport control, customs inspection, and longer check-in times than domestic flights.

Our international flight to Tokyo departs at midnight.

The term distinguishes from domestic flights, which stay within a single country's borders.
