The city where a flight begins is called which term?

• A. Originating Station
• B. Non-Stop Flight
• C. Life Lines
• D. Observer

Answer: (A)

The starting point of a flight is called the origin, and in airline terminology that city or airport is referred to as the originating station. This labels where the flight begins on schedules, tickets, and flight plans, as opposed to the destination where it ends. The other options describe something different: a Non-Stop Flight simply means there are no intermediate stops, while Life Lines and Observer aren’t terms used to indicate where a flight begins. So, the city where a flight begins is the originating station.
