connecting flight
Transfer between planes
A connecting flight is a second (or subsequent) flight a traveler takes after landing, continuing the journey to a final destination.
When no direct route exists, passengers book connecting flights through intermediate airports: We have a two-hour layover before our connecting flight to Denver.
Missing a connecting flight due to delays can strand travelers mid-journey.
