What term describes a flight with one or more stops where passengers do not have to change planes at the stop?

• A. Direct Flight
• B. Connection
• C. Domestic Air Travel
• D. Discount Fare

Answer: (B)

Direct flights are structured to go from origin to destination with one or more intermediate stops, but you stay on the same aircraft throughout the journey. Passengers may experience a stop for boarding, fuel, or a brief layover, yet there’s no need to change planes at the stop—the aircraft continues to the final destination. This contrasts with a connecting flight, where you must switch to a different plane at the stop. A flight that has no stops is called nonstop, and a discount fare doesn’t define whether a flight involves stops or a plane change. So the term that fits a flight with stops but no plane change is direct flight.
