What term describes that portion of the flight between two cities?

• A. Leg
• B. Segment
• C. Flight Leg Route
• D. Leg Segment

Answer: (A)

The term describes the portion of travel between two cities is leg. In airline language, a trip is broken into legs, with each leg representing the flight from one city to the next. For example, a journey from New York to Chicago and then to Denver consists of two legs: the first from New York to Chicago, the second from Chicago to Denver. The word leg is the standard, widely used way to name each continuous flight segment between two endpoints, which is why it’s the best choice here.

While segment can be used in some contexts to refer to a portion of a route, it’s a more general term and not the specific standard label for the consecutive city-to-city portions of an itinerary. The other options combine terms in nonstandard ways or mix words that aren’t used together as a single term.
