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?
I have already flown two times in a year. The longest flight I have taken was 1 hour from Sai Gon to Hue in Vietnam and the next flight was from Sai Gon to Phu Quoc has just took 35 minutes. All of the two flights were so exciting and interesting!!
