direct flight
Straight to destination
A direct flight travels from origin to destination without requiring passengers to change planes, though it may include intermediate stops.
This distinguishes it from a nonstop flight, which makes no stops at all, and from a connecting flight, which requires switching aircraft: It's a direct flight, but we stop briefly in Denver.
