How to use 行程
行程 is most often used for a trip plan or schedule, especially in travel and business contexts. It also appears in phrases like 行程安排 (xíngchéng ānpái, itinerary arrangements). Example: 我们的行程很紧。(Wǒmen de xíngchéng hěn jǐn.) Our itinerary is very tight.
行 (xíng) means to go or travel, and 程 (chéng) means a stretch or measured course. Put them together and you get the measured course of your going: your journey or itinerary.
Common mistake: Learners often read 行 as háng here because of 银行 (yínháng), but in 行程 it is xíng, second tone. Also, 行程 is a noun, so do not use it as a verb meaning to travel; use 旅行 (lǚxíng) for that.
