i suppose there are different ways in different countries to say "Good bye" to a person who leaves home/country by the plane or by another kind of transport for a trip..
I know that Americans can say : Have a safe trip
The French say : Bon voyage
And how about your country, your customs in such cases ?
Iranian say:
I hope you have an enjoyable trip.
I hope you have happy times beside your family.
I hope you travel in safety.
when it comes to saying good bye , there is various ways , in my country in some cultures , people believe that don't say goodbye at that time just make them wish for having safe travel , when I ask them about the reason, probably the answer will be because they say mentioning ''goodbye'' is like u will lost the opportunity to meet them a gain .
