1 trip: "Trip" is the best term here. A "trip" is a "journey" or a "holiday". Here's another example: "I'd like to take a trip to Marseille this summer".
2 flew: "Flew" is the right answer here. The verb to fly is conjugated as: I fly/I flew/I have flown. In this sentence, we need the preterit tense, due to the time marker "yesterday". Here's another example: "The bird stole my ring, flew through the air, and landed on a very high branch".
3 flown: "Flown" is the correct conjugation here. We say "I fly/I flew/I have flown". This is an example of the present perfect tense, which is needed when we want to say that we "have already done something". Another example: "-Have you ever flown on the back of a dragon? -No, I've never even seen a dragon!".
