I notice many posts here on the Transportation board talking about "direct" flights when they really mean "non-stop". In the travel business there is a difference. A non-stop flight goes from point A to point B without an intervening stop. A direct flight goes from point A to point C and then on to point B. What makes that different from a connecting flight is that you don't get of the aircraft at point C.
Be sure you understand the difference when booking flights, especially on some of the non-legacy carriers so you don't get surprised on your trip.
