buon via-GIO — the 'gg' before 'io' creates a soft 'j' sound. Natural, warm farewell.

'Buon viaggio' (have a good journey) is the universal Italian travel farewell. 'Buon' (good, masculine) + 'viaggio' (journey/trip). For a flight specifically, 'buon volo' is used. 'Viaggio' covers all modes of transport. It is always appropriate and always warmly received.
