What is the difference between a direct flight, a nonstop flight and a flight with a connection?

Many people think nonstop and direct flights are interchangeable terms, but there are differences between the two.

A nonstop flight does as its name suggests: flies from one airport to another without stopping.

A direct flight, on the other hand, makes (so called technical) stops along the way.

Often, passengers traveling on direct flights make a stop at a midpoint airport and remain seated on the plane while some passengers exit and others board.

An itinerary with connecting flights requires passengers to change planes at a midpoint airport, which may be in a different terminal or on a different airline. Please watch out for the little 'i' next to the flight number, which will tell you if there are, a technical stop on the flight.

Do I have enough connection time between my flights?

The minimum connecting time is the shortest permissible time needed to make a connecting flight at a particular airport. This standard is determined for each airport by the airport authorities together with the respective airlines. The connection times we offer on our website are in accordance with these standards.

In the event that your flight is delayed, causing you to miss your connecting flight, it is the airlines responsibility to rebook you on the next available flight provided that all flights are on one ticket. If no other flights are available then, the airline might offer you accommodation and transport to a hotel.

Depending on the waiting period, meals and refreshments could also be offered by the airline. If you have two separate tickets connecting two flights, the respective airlines will not take any responsibility if you miss your connection.

If you have any queries regarding a payment made online, please contact us immediately. Please do not attempt to rebook if you are unsure if your booking was successful.

What if I can't find the flight dates I require on your website?
