Help the excited traveler plan their morning! Select the correct option for each blank.
I need to _________________________ a flight to Barcelona at 7 a.m., and then _________________________ the plane as soon as my group is called!
The correct answers are catch and board.
We say catch a flight (= arrive in time to get on a scheduled flight). You can't miss a flight if you want to travel, and lose a flight is not a natural collocation. For getting onto an aircraft, we say board the plane (= step onto it when allowed). You don't ride a plane (we say ride for horses or bicycles), and you can't drive a plane — pilots fly planes.
