"I hope you like the flight."
Translation:Jeg håber du kan lide flyveturen.

Why isn't "jeg håber I kan godt lide flyveturen" acceptable? Am I missing something..?
Why does "godt" go before "kan" here? And I thought that in other examples, "flyvet" was used to mean "flight." Am I mistaken?

'Du godt kan lide flyveturen' is a subordinate clause, where the word order is slightly different (adverbs that would normally come right after the main verb are right in front of it in subordinate clauses)
From what i understand, kan lide and kan godt lide are both acceptable, in this case godt would need to go before kan as explained above

I came here to ask a question to understand why my answer was not accepted, but having read all the other similar questions, some going back four years, not being answered satisfactorily, was really discouraging, so I gave up.

'Jeg håber' introduces a dependent clause. To make this more obvious, you could say 'Jeg håber, at...'.
In dependent clauses, the word order is slightly different to the normal: "Sentence adverbs", such as 'godt' in this case, now go before the verb. Consequently, the correct sentence would be 'Jeg håber, (at) du godt kan lide flyveturen.

Because, as explained in other comments, there is a subordinate clause after "Jeg håber". In subordinate clauses, sentence adverbs, which usually come right after the conjugated verb, now have to come before it, they switch positions with the verb.
This, why is fly in the translation list if it then gets marked wrong. Whats the difference?
