What is an Intercontinental Flight?
An intercontinental flight is a type of flight that flies from one continent to another. For example, a flight from Hong Kong to Brisbane is flying from one continent (Asia) to another (Oceania). They can be from any continent to another, as long as the start and end destinations are in different continents.
They are different to transcontinental flights, which fly from one side of a continent to the other. Read more on transcontinental flights here.
How do they differ from a transatlantic flight?
A transatlantic flight is a type of intercontinental flight, as it flies from one continent to another, but over the Atlantic Ocean. For example, a flight from Europe to Africa would be an intercontinental flight but not transatlantic because it is flying from Europe to Africa, without going across the Atlantic.
