asking about flight Are both of these sentences correct? Which one is a more natural way to ask it?
1. Which airline are you going to take?
2. Which airline are you flying / traveling with?

Re: asking about flight "Which airline are you taking" would be natural in AmE.

Re: asking about flight "Which flight/bus/train are you taking/getting?" would be natural in BrE but only when talking about a specific service (ie flight number BA243, bus number 7 etc), but it doesn't work with the name of an airline.
