Yo could say ¿A dónde vuelas? but it would be so literal In almost all the situations we say ¿A dónde vas/viajas? which means Where are you going/travelling?

(1) It's "¿Adónde vuelas?"

(2) I don't think "airside" is a real word. I speak fluent American English and have some really good dictionaries. It's just not there.

Salidas, or puertas, the gates. I've never heard ' air-sides either, in Britain. - annierats, Feb 23, 2016
Zona de embarque is fine, depends what you mean, really. Departure lounge? - annierats, Feb 23, 2016
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/airside annierats, I work at the airport in UK and it's used very often, greetings - Kriscane, Feb 23, 2016
I've meant the area after security checks - Kriscane, Feb 23, 2016
Ok, which air-port, I've lived in Britain for 37 years and never heard this expression, but departure lounge isprobably what most people say. - annierats, Feb 27, 2016

"Airside" is one of those slippery jargon words understood and used by a relatively small proportion of the population. It is used to identify any and all locations on an airport which are enclosed inside the security barrier. It can also be used adjectivally, for instance in the phrase "airside bus" meaning a bus which operates only inside the security apron or maybe even a bus the purpose of which is to ferry people into the secure area. Air people, those who work at or for airports, use it all the time.

In the States, we generally say "the departure area" or "departure gates" or even "the other side of the security checkpoints." wink
