How to ask "Is the flight delayed?" in Chinese

航班 (hángbān) means "flight," 延误 (yánwù) means "to delay," 了 (le) indicates a change, and 吗 (ma) makes it a yes/no question. The structure is: [subject] + [verb] + 了 + 吗?

Use this to ask airport staff or check with others about a flight's status. It's polite and direct. A common mistake is omitting 了, which would make it sound like a general question about delays rather than a specific current one.
