Using 一路顺风
顺风 is “favorable wind” — a tailwind — so 一路顺风 wishes someone smooth winds for the entire journey. It is the bon voyage of Chinese: said to family driving home, friends flying out, classmates leaving for summer camp.
In Traditional Chinese it is 一路順風 — 顺→順 and 风→風. Like 一路平安, the 一 here is spoken with second tone (yí) before fourth-tone 路. A playful pilots' superstition says planes take off into the wind, so some families say 一路平安 for flights and keep 一路顺风 for road trips and sailing — but nobody will correct a child either way.

FAQ
What is the difference between 一路顺风 and 一路平安?
Both wish a good journey. 一路顺风 pictures a tailwind (smooth and fast); 一路平安 wishes peace and safety. Some families prefer 平安 for flights and 顺风 for road or sea trips.
Why is 一 pronounced yí here?
Tone change: 一 (yī) becomes second tone (yí) before a fourth-tone syllable — here 路 (lù). So: yí lù shùn fēng.
How is 一路顺风 written in Traditional Chinese?
一路順風 — 顺→順 and 风→風. 一 and 路 are unchanged.
