On a forum I frequent some users were complaining about a question using the turn of phrase "flight ticket" as something no English speaker would ever say.
I disagreed because it sounds like something I've heard plenty of times, even though I usually say "plane ticket" myself.
But I'm not sure in which regions of the English speaking world, or in which era or age group it's preferred.
Google Ngrams tells me "flight ticket" is more popular than "aeroplane ticket" but less popular than "airplane ticket", "air ticket", and "plane ticket"... but I couldn't figure out much more about the history or demographics of the phrase.
