- Le vol est à l'heure ?More direct, assumes context is clear.
Ways to get it wrong
Pronouncing 'heure'
The 'h' is silent, so it sounds like 'ur', not 'hair'.
Forgetting 'à'
You need 'à l'heure' for 'on time'; 'Mon vol est l'heure' is incorrect.
Misplacing 'mon'
'Mon' (my) comes before 'vol' (flight); 'Vol mon est à l'heure' is wrong.
