Use of : Catch up
I have to catch up flight vs i have a flight to catch up. Are both the sentences are correct and where can we use 'catch up with' ?

Re: Use of : Catch up
I think you mean:
I have to catch a flight.
I have a flight to catch.
Both are possible and correct.
Note that the expression is to "catch a flight", not to "catch up a flight".
We use "catch up" in a different way:
I have to catch up with my work.
I have to catch up with the leader.
I have to catch a flight.
I have a flight to catch.
Both are possible and correct.
Note that the expression is to "catch a flight", not to "catch up a flight".
We use "catch up" in a different way:
I have to catch up with my work.
I have to catch up with the leader.
