A shuttle flight such as Boston to New York, which occur on a regular schedule and do not require advance reservation.
An airline fight where most (if not all) passengers are using air travel as a method to transport themselves from one place to another for their employment.
A commuter flight is both short on time and space. It is a short flight and the plane usually does not hold more than 50 passengers. It's usually used from a smaller airport to get to a big airport to get a connnecting flight. Like, for me, I'm in Tallahassee Florida and I want to go to Toronto. I would fly on some small airlines that has deals with the bigger airlines that do not fly in to small airports.(Not enough runway for the big jets) So I fly the commuter plane (small) to Atlanta to get on the bigger plane to fly on to the bigger airport. The one that crashed was going from Lexington Kentucky to Atlanta Georgia, that would not be a very long flight. Maybe alittle over an hour.
