price of a plane ticket
The money you must pay to fly on a plane between two places.
Patrón de uso:
[someone] pays airfare to [a place]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse “airfare” with “flight.” “Airfare” is the money you pay, while “flight” is the journey itself. Also, some learners write it as two words (“air fare”); in modern usage, the one-word form “airfare” is standard.
