What is a domestic flight?
Domestic flights, or 'internal flights', are flights which depart and land within one country's boundaries. Many domestic flights are short-haul, lasting up to a couple of hours. If a country has a national flag carrier, this airline will likely operate an extensive network of domestic flights, along with smaller private airlines.
