Difference between 2 words?
I'm reading some dialogs and texts, and I came up with these 2 words: полёт and рейсе. I really don't get the difference. The first word was a question: "How was your flight?" and the other one was, "What's the hour of your flight?"
It may seems a stupid question, I know, but c'mon guys, I'm still learning, ok! :)
Thank you!

There are two different words in Russian and one word in English. It often happens in different languages. Here is an opposite case: Peace and World in Russian is the same one word: Мир.

Полет is an activity for aircrafts "flight" (airplanes, spacecrafts, missiles and so on)
Рейс is related to timetable and route and you can use this word for any type of transport "flight, route, trip etc".
