Deine Flug geht hier los.
‘Flug’ is masculine, so the correct possessive is ‘Dein’, not ‘Deine’.
Dein Flug geht hier.
Leaving out the separable prefix ‘los’ changes the meaning; you need ‘geht … los’ to convey ‘departs’.
Dein Ihr Flug geht hier los.
‘Ihr’ is formal; using it with ‘Dein’ mixes registers. Choose either formal (Ihr Flug …) or informal (Dein Flug …).

Cultural Tip
German airport announcements are usually formal – ‘Ihr Flug …’ – because they address all passengers. ‘Dein Flug …’ is informal and is only used when speaking directly to someone you know well, such as a friend or family member. Also, Germans often point to the gate number or display board while saying the phrase, so pairing the sentence with a gesture makes it sound natural.
