If the elements a,b,c,d are themselves _not_ lists, then:

   Flatten[{{a, b}, {c, d}}]
{a, b, c, d}
   Flatten[Transpose[{{a, b}, {c, d}}]]
{a, c, b, d}

If, however, the elements may themselves be lists (and possibly nested 
lists), then you may want to use an additional argument to Flatten, e.g.:

   Flatten[{{a, {b1, b2}}, {c, d}}, 1]
{a, {b1, b2}, c, d}

Unless what you want in this case is also just one level of list; then:

   Flatten[{{a, {b1, b2}}, {c, d}}]
{a, b1, b2, c, d}
