फ़्लाइट बुक करनी है

You use this phrase as a complete sentence. You can add a subject like Mujhe (I/To me) at the start. So, Mujhe flight book karni hai becomes 'I need to book a flight.' The verb karni matches the feminine gender of the word 'flight' in Hindi grammar. If you are talking to a travel agent, keep it simple. If you are telling a friend, you might sound a bit more stressed. It works perfectly in both scenarios.

Use it when you are planning a vacation. Use it when a work trip suddenly pops up. It is great for asking for help too. For example, 'Can you help me? Flight book karni hai.' It is also common when you are sitting with friends and deciding on a group trip. It signals that the 'talking phase' is over. Now, the 'action phase' has begun.

Do not use this if you have already booked the ticket. For that, you would say book kar li (have booked). Also, do not use it for trains or buses. While people will understand, the word flight is specific to air travel. For a train, you would say ticket book karni hai. Avoid using it in very poetic or old-fashioned settings. It is a modern, 'Hinglish' friendly phrase.

India has seen a massive boom in air travel over the last decade. Earlier, everyone talked about train ki ticket. Now, flight is a household word even in middle-class families. The use of the English word 'flight' is standard. Most Hindi speakers do not use the pure Hindi word vimaan. Using 'flight' makes you sound natural and contemporary. It reflects the fast-paced, globalized lifestyle of urban India.

You can swap 'flight' for other things. For example, hotel book karna hai. Notice it becomes karna because 'hotel' is masculine. You can also say ticket book karni hai for general travel. If you are in a hurry, just say flight book karni hai, jaldi karo! (I need to book a flight, hurry up!). It is a very flexible structure for any 'need to do' situation.
