What is the difference between
nonstop, direct and connecting flights?
|
-
A nonstop flight flies directly from point
A to point B without any stops.
-
A direct flight will fly from point A to
point B, but you'll have at least one if not several stops along
the way.
-
To get from point A to point B on a connecting
flight, you'll not only have to stop over along the way, but
you will also have to get out and make another flight to finish
your journey.

Is the best way to get there
with a nonstop, direct or connecting flight?
|
-
Prices on these three options will vary
as to which is the cheapest way to go, so you'll probably want
to evaluate each possibility for cost.
-
The frequent flyer points awarded on these
three options can also vary.
-
On a very long trip it might be easier on
you to enjoy a short stop over, but this will depend on the
length of the trip and the stop over, as well as, personal preferences.
-
Nonstop flights are the quickest and simplest
way to get there since you won't have to deal with any stops
or transfers. Nonstop flights also provide less opportunity
for your luggage to be lost.

What does it mean if it states
that the ticket is nontransferable?
|
-
This usually means that the ticket is only
to be used by the person whose name is listed on the ticket
and cannot be used by anyone else but that person.
-
Policies will vary among types of tickets,
so check the Airline's policy to find out exactly what the term
means when it is applied to a particular ticket.

What does it mean if it states
that the ticket is nonrefundable?
|
-
This means that you will not be issued a
refund for the amount of the ticket if you don't use it. Policies
can vary, so check the Airline's policy to find out the exact
meaning when it is applied to a particular ticket.
-
Some Airline's will allow a nonrefundable
ticket to be used another time, but there is usually a penalty
in the form of a fee to change the original itinerary of the
ticket. If you are using a travel consolidator, remember that
they can sign agreements with the Airline that will eliminate
some of your protections, so in their case nonrefundable may
mean use it or loose it.
