flightseeingnoun [U]
/ˈflaɪtˌsiː.ɪŋ/
the activity of seeing interesting places from an aircraft
Forget sightseeing. Who wants tedious queues to tick off must-see sights when you can rise above it all and go flightseeing instead? Yep, flightseeing – essentially sightseeing by air – which makes it infinitely more appealing, particularly in Vancouver, a city made to be seen from above.

megamoonnoun [C]
/’me.gə.muːn/
a honeymoon on which the married couple’s friends are also invited
When they sent the invite through it was pretty bananas. It said how much it would cost, where it would be and that they’d love us to come on their honeymoon with them. I didn’t have a megamoon, but now I’m thinking, why not? I loved bringing groups together before the big day, so I wish I’d extended that to afterwards.
