direct flights

No layover trips

Direct flights are flights between two cities without a change of aircraft, though they may include intermediate stops.

The term is often confused with nonstop, which means no stops at all.

A direct flight from New York to Los Angeles might land in Denver but passengers remain on the same plane: I booked a direct flight, but it still stops in Dallas.
