4*2 = 8

probability = 1/8

mani_jha · Answer

For the first trip, he can choose any of the four flights, and for each of these four possible flights, he can choose any two flights for the next trip.
So, no of possible flights=4*2=8

anonymous · Answer

The probability is one eighth because there is only one of the combinations (of the eight possible ways to get there) that meet the specification of being the first from each airport.
