Where Has That Flight Come From?

SCENARIO

Imagine you are at an airport* with a relative, a friend or a business associate/ colleague. Maybe you are there on your own and you are stopped by a complete stranger. You are watching a flight arrival. The other person wants to find out where those passangers have come from. He/ she thinks that you know and decides to ask you: "where has that flight come from"?

So, the other person could say:

¿De dónde viene ese vuelo?

*NB Please note that very similar scenarios could be applicable in a railway station/ bus station/ bus stop/ ferry terminal/ etc. In each one of those cases, the question could be:

• ¿De dónde viene ese tren? (railway station).
• ¿De dónde viene ese autobús? (bus station/ bus stop).
• ¿De dónde viene ese ferry? (ferry terminal)

---

OUR TIP

Your answer depends only on what you want to say about the origin of that flight. It should be noted that the reply applicable to a flight would also be valid when applying to a train/ bus/ ferry boat/ etc.(*)

The reply should be quite straight forward. Maybe you would like to choose a reply which says that:

• You don't know where that flight is coming from.
• That flight is coming from a specific city.

Here are a couple of examples which deal with those basic possibilities:

• Lo siento, no sé de donde viene ese vuelo (I am sorry, I don't know where that flight has come from).
• Ese vuelo viene de Nueva York (That flight has come from New York).

(*) NB In the railway station/ bus station/ ferry terminal/ scenarios, the above answers would still be OK. It would just be a matter of replacing the word 'vuelo' with 'tren'/ 'autobús'/ 'ferry' respectively.

 

Now you should practice answering the question:

¿De dónde viene ese vuelo?
