Direct flights and Non-Stop flights are not interchangeable terms
DEAR EDITOR,
Recently, we have been reading and/or hearing of this or that airline offering, starting or contemplating Direct Flights from Guyana to cities in North America, when the correct terminology should be Non-Stop Flights. Direct and Non-Stop are not interchangeable terms.
A Non-Stop Flight is self-explanatory. The aircraft flies from the departure airport to the destination airport without making any intermediate stop. In a Direct Flight, the aircraft leaves the departure airport and makes one (or more) intermediate stop before arriving at the destination airport. However, and very important there is no planned change of aircraft and no Flight Number change. The flight number remains the same throughout the journey.
Connecting flights are more complicated and the most inconvenient for the passenger. These flights involve change of aircraft, change of flight number and even airline change during the journey.
Yours truly
Lloyd H. Marshall
