There is always discussion on how much someone paid for their air tickets or what a reasonable price is. During these discussions, there are always terms thrown out that may cause some people some confusion. When discussing airline flights, there are actually three types of flights: non stop, connecting and direct.
Non Stop: I think we all know what this means. You board a plane in City A and your only stop is City C where you want to get off. Yes, I know non stop is a strange term because that plane has to stop at some point.
Connecting: You board your plane in City A. The plane lands in City B where you get off and move to the next gate for your second flight that will take you to City C where you want to get off.
Direct: I see a lot of people using this term when they really mean to say non stop. A direct flight is where you board a plane in City A. Your plane lands in City B BUT you stay on board that plane while other passengers are let on. That plan then departs City B and takes you to City C where you want to get off.
There is a big difference between a DIRECT flight and a NON STOP flight.
