What city or country did your flight depart from? · What was your last stop before arriving here?
You've just met someone at a hostel, an airport lounge, or even a local café, and you want to know about their journey! ✈️ This is a super common and polite way to ask where their trip began or where they came from immediately before arriving at your current location. It's a great conversation starter to learn about their travel adventures! 🌍
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression is specifically for travel by plane. If someone arrived by train, bus, or car, you might ask 'Where are you coming from?' or 'Where did your journey start?' instead. 🤔 It's often used when you're curious about the longer travel route, not just their home country. For example, they might be 'flying in from' Paris, but their home is in New York!
When would you most appropriately use 'Where are you flying in from?' A. 🚗 When asking a friend where they drove from for a road trip. B. ✈️ When meeting a fellow traveler at the airport baggage claim. C. 🚶♀️ When asking a local where they live in the city.
