Board a plane

[Hotmale]

Hello,
are there any other expressions that mean "board a plane"? Can I say "get on a plane" or "get into a plane"?

Thank you

I suggest: take a flight.

Hello Hotmale,

You can "get on a plane" but I haven't heard "get into a plane".

Hello Scrivener

thanks for your answer. What about leaving the plane? Do you say "get off", "get out of" or something else?

There are the words "enplane/emplane" and "deplane", but I don't think I've ever heard anyone use "enplane/emplane". You would probably produce a blank stare on most people's faces in the U.S. if you tried it on them.

I have heard "deplane" used by flight attendants fairly regularly.

Oh, I've never heard about these words , but they sound logical .

Thanks, James.

I suggest: get off the plane.

You can also say "leave the plane."

Thank you all

We say "alight from the plane".

Thanks again

I heard a stewardess say, "There is no smoking on this flight. If you light up once we are airborne, you will be asked to step outside."

"Deplane" is a word they use in that industry for getting off the plane.

For getting on the plane they usually say something like this, "We will be announcing boarding by rows. Rows 1 through 10 may now board..."
