flight connection

Midway plane change

A flight connection is a transfer between flights at an intermediate airport, where passengers change planes to reach their final destination.

Airlines schedule connections with layover times ranging from thirty minutes to several hours: We had a tight connection in Chicago.

A missed connection due to delays can strand travelers until the next available flight.
