transatlantic flight
Intercontinental air journey
A transatlantic flight is an airline journey across the Atlantic Ocean, typically between North America and Europe.
These flights became routine in the mid-20th century and now carry millions of passengers annually.
The term often appears in discussions of jet lag, since the time zone changes are substantial: I'm still recovering from my transatlantic flight last week.
