What term describes a flight that goes from origin to a destination and then returns to the origin?

• A. Round Trip
• B. One Way
• C. Return Flight
• D. Loop Flight

Answer: (A)

In air travel, trips come in two main styles: one-way and round trip. A flight that starts at your origin, goes to a destination, and then comes back to where you started is called a round trip. This describes both the outbound journey and the return, usually sold as a single itinerary with a round-trip fare.

One-way means you’re only traveling in one direction—there’s no return included. A return flight refers to the leg back to the origin, but by itself it doesn’t specify that you also took the outward journey. A loop flight isn’t a standard term for a typical passenger itinerary and would not be used to describe a simple origin-destination-then-return pattern.
