flight connections

Intermediate stops traveling

Flight connections are the intermediate stops or transfers between an origin and final destination when no direct flight is available.

A passenger flying from Boston to Bangkok might have connections in New York and Tokyo.

The term also refers to the logistics of catching these linking flights: We had a tight connection in Dallas, I missed my connection due to the delay.
