jetting off
Leaving by plane
Jetting off means departing by airplane, typically for leisure or adventure.
The phrase suggests speed and a certain glamour—you jet off to Paris, not to a dentist appointment.
It often implies spontaneity or privilege: They're jetting off to the Caribbean for the weekend.
The verb jet alone can work the same way: She jets around the world for work.
