How to use 机票
机票 is the everyday word for a plane ticket, used when booking, buying, or checking prices. It often pairs with verbs like 买 (mǎi, buy), 订 (dìng, book), and 退 (tuì, refund). Example: 我买了去北京的机票。(Wǒ mǎi le qù Běijīng de jīpiào.) I bought a plane ticket to Beijing.
机 (jī) is short for 飞机 (fēijī), airplane, and 票 (piào) means ticket. Put them together and you get the ticket for a plane.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes say 飞机票 every time, or use 机票 for train tickets. 飞机票 is fine in speech, but a train or bus ticket is 车票 (chēpiào), and a ticket to a park or show is 门票 (ménpiào).
