So my partner often travels for work. I always wish him a safe flight and he never said anything apart from thanks. When I travel he does the same.

Well I wished him a safe flight today and he responded: 'It will be or won't be. Leaving soon anyway.'

What the hell? We are from different countries so sometimes have cultural 'what the hecks' but this is a strange reply right?!

Or even have a good trip.

“Drive safe” also drives me mad! Annoys me every time my lovely husband says it. Have a safe flight would definitely grate

Yeah, I would find have a safe flight every single time a bit annoying.

His response kind of sums it up. It’s not within his control to make it safe or not!

Have a safe flight isn’t the best thing to say. It immediately highlights security concerns. Just say have a good flight.

His response was pretty neutral.

It’s not really up to him if the flight is safe.

You could probably say that to a pilot, but not a random passenger who has no control over what goes on.

I hate it when someone wishes me a safe flight. Thanks, I too hope we don’t crash.

You’re statistically more likely to be killed on the journey to the airport. If you don’t say “have a safe drive” every time he gets in the car then I can’t blame him replying like that.

Really @OrwellianTimes ?

Would never cross my mind someone would feel that way to such a message

”have a safe flight” would wind me up to be honest and make me anxious.

“have a good flight” would be better.
