TURN refers to what kind of flight?

• A. A complete round trip
• B. A flight with a mid-flight layover
• C. A turn-around at gate
• D. A flight on which a Flight Attendant leaves and returns to his/her domicile without a layover (only two legs of a flight)

Answer: (D)

A TURN is a short, two-leg duty that begins and ends at the flight attendant’s home base with no overnight stay. This type of flight is completed in one day, with outbound and inbound legs and no layover away from the domicile. That’s why the option describing leaving the domicile, flying to a destination, and returning home the same day with only two legs fits best. The other scenarios don’t match TURN: a full round trip could involve more legs or an overnight; a flight with a mid-flight layover includes a layover; and a gate turn-around refers to the aircraft’s quick service at the gate, not a two-leg crew flight.
