I don't fear of flying, on the opposite I love flying. I do all the hostes say, I put hand luggage on the overhead locker, I fasten the safety belt and I relax. I like take some photo to the sky, clouds and cities seen from above. I have only traveled in Europe but my dream is visit lots of country in the world.
i think that in the fourth part there are an incorrect correction because duty free is in the plane category and not in the airport category and is obvious that a entire shop do not enter in a plane
Actually, this term is in the 'Things in both an airport and a plane' category and that is correct. There are duty free shops in the airport but you can also often buy various duty free products on the plane itself. Actually, I find it quite annoying when the flight attendants try to sell me things during my journey. Usually I just want to sleep!
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.
