People flying within a country in domestic sector is classified as the domestic traffic and availing domestic flights. Every country has respective domestic airlines catering to this segment need.

[edit] International

The air travel across the borders is termed as International flights. This segment is generally of long distance air travel and address the need of people travelling from one country to other.

[edit] Air travel

Travel class on an airplane is usually split into a two, three or four class model. US Domestic flights usually have two classes: Economy Class and a Domestic First Class partitioned into cabins. International flights may have up to four classes: Economy Class, Premium Economy, Business Class or Club Class and First Class.

The differences between premium economy and economy are quite significant, but the cost is not greatly altered by purchasing a Premium Economy ticket. The price difference between an economy class ticket and a first class ticket, however, are often extreme.

Most air travel starts and ends at a commercial airport. The typical procedure is check-in, border control, airport security baggage and passenger check before entering the gate, boarding, flying and pick-up of luggage and - limited to international flights - another border control at the host country's border.
