Yes I was travelling by air one time every year and some times its twice , I live in Arabic country and my family in Egypt hence I need to visit them and spend one month yearly with them , as for the longest trip it was to United State when I give birth to my kids it takes around 13 hours from my country, I wish I can visit again .
Hello LearnEnglish Team,
I would like to ask you what is the difference between a "stopover" and a "pit stop". If you say that "you broke your journey" does it mean that you made a stopover, a pit stop or something else? Thank you in advance.
In the context of air travel, we speak of a 'stopover' or 'layover' when we land in one airport and wait for another later flight there.
A pit stop comes from the world of car racing, but people sometimes use it informally to refer to a stop in a journey. Usually it's a car journey and usually people decide to stop to use the bathroom.
I've made a mistake... I had to post my questions under the "car" category for I was interested in that context. Can I repost it there or can I continue here my questions?
Duty-free is also used to refer to the goods that are bought in a Duty-free shop and then brought onto the plane.
it is so good and a little hard for me
