Cultural Tip

In French airports, announcements usually use the verb ‘départ’ or ‘décolle’ rather than ‘part’. While ‘Ton vol part d'ici’ is perfectly correct, you’ll more often hear ‘Votre vol part de cet aéroport’ or ‘Votre vol décolle de cet aéroport’. Keep the register slightly formal when speaking with airline staff.
