include string, string doesn't name a type

Question

I have included string and just after call a string variable in a struct in an header file. I get the 'string doesn't name a type' for string Origin and Destination City, despite calling string just before it

//sortedListClass.h (a few lines of comments)
#include <string>
struct flightRec{
    int flightnumber;
    string Origin; //problem #1
    string DestinationCity; // problem #2
    float cost;
    flightRec* ptr;
};
typedef flightRec* nodeptr;
#ifndef SORTEDLISTCLASS_H
#define SORTEDLISTCLASS_H
#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>

sortedListClass.h:10:5: error: ‘string’ does not name a type

sortedListClass.h:11:5: error: ‘string’ does not name a type

Might I ask what am I doing wrong?

It's called std::string unless you put in a using directive (which you shouldn't do in a header).

Ah, yes... I tried string::string instead and it didn't work. Thank you. I forgot it was in std.
