Questions & Answers about Ela não gosta de viajar de avião.

Why are we using the word de twice in this sentence?
They have two different jobs! The first de is required by the verb gostar. Whenever you say you like something or like doing something in Portuguese, you must use gostar de. The second de is used with avião to mean "by airplane". In Portuguese, de is the standard way to say you are traveling "by" a specific mode of transport.
Since gostar means "to like", why does the English translation say "likes to"? Where does the "to" come from?
In Portuguese, the "to" part of "to travel" is already built into the word viajar, which is the dictionary form (the infinitive) of the verb. The first de belongs to gosta, not to viajar. So, gosta de gives us "likes", and viajar gives us "to travel".
Why doesn't viajar change to match Ela, just like gosta did?
When you have two verbs working together to describe one idea, only the first one gets conjugated (changed) to match the person. Since we already changed the first verb to gosta for the subject Ela, the second verb, viajar, stays in its basic, unchanged dictionary form.
Where does the negative word não go when we use a phrase like gostar de?
The word não always goes immediately before the conjugated verb. Even though gostar and de work together as a pair, the não simply goes before the verb itself, giving us não gosta de.
