a flying visit
very short visit
A flying visit is a very short visit because you do not have time to stay.
Hear it in real life
Are you staying for dinner?
No, it is just a flying visit.
I made a flying visit to my parents before catching the last train home.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I made a flying visit ‸ my parents before work.
Say: I made a flying visit to my parents before work.
Use “to” before the person or place visited after “a flying visit.”
