Where do I get a flight to far away?
What does "get" mean in this sentence?
Does it mean "find"?
Thank you
", I would normally assume that they wanted the name of an airport, or possibly a terminal within an airport, albeit this is slightly less clear when X is not a specific place. In your case, "get a flight" seems to mean, or be taken to mean, "purchase a ticket for a flight". To me this seems a loose usage that risks not even being understandable.
