Significado
Wishing someone a pleasant journey.
Contexto cultural
In Spain, it's very common to use '¡Que tengáis un feliz viaje!' when speaking to a group of friends, using the 'vosotros' form which is rare in Latin America. Due to 'voseo', the stress and spelling of the verb change. You will hear 'tengás' instead of 'tengas'. Mexicans often add 'mucho' or use 'súper' to make the wish warmer. It is common to hear 'Que Dios te acompañe' (May God accompany you) alongside 'Que tengas un feliz viaje', reflecting a strong religious cultural background.
The 'Que' Shortcut
In Spanish, whenever you want to wish something, start with 'Que' + Subjunctive. It works for everything: 'Que descanses' (Sleep well), 'Que aproveche' (Enjoy your meal).
The Double Kiss
In Spain, say this phrase while giving two kisses. In Latin America, one kiss or a hug is more common.

Perguntas frequentes
4 perguntasYes, it is perfectly correct and very common, though slightly less 'active' than 'Que tengas...'.
It is almost always singular: 'Buen viaje', even if the person is taking multiple flights.
