viaje

trip, journey

noun BYAH-heh Common

Usage Note

Viaje is the standard word for any trip or journey — by car, plane, or train. ¡Buen viaje! is the common send-off ('Have a good trip!'). The verb is viajar and the traveller is viajero. Do not confuse with viejo ('old') — the spelling difference matters.
