ex-US flight meaning
 
What is the meaning of "ex-US flight"?
Google is not of offering any solid help, or, I can't figure out how to ask the question.
Thanks

Flights originating from the US.

JFK-LHR would be ex-US
LHR-JFK would be ex-UK

So, would a domestic flight like BUF-JFK be ex-USA?

No. Why on earth should it? I suppose SEA-ANC could end up being ex-USA, but that's not what would have been intended on take-off.

The "ex" connotes that the flight leaves one country and is going to another one.

ex= out of. Think of the word exit.

"ex" - exiting/exit
"US" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31..._code_elements

If XXX is an airport code, exXXX would mean a flight departing from XXX.

BUF-JFK could be intraUSA, just like we say intraAsia or intraEU/intraEurope, but most people would just say that it's a (USA) domestic flight.

BTW, I like to write USA rather than US for the country here to avoid confusion with US the (former) airline = USAir.
