Did you fly home safely?
Did you fly home safe?

Which is right?
same for 'get home safe' 'get home safely'
oh right, one more thing i just think out of.
do you ever say 'did you make home safe(ly)?
i think i've heard that expression somewhere, but can't remember really.

cheers!

.
Use 'safely' in careful writing. 'Safe' can also be used casually as an adverb.

Did you make it home safe(ly) is probably what you heard.
